VB-G RAM G Bill 'anti village', Modi Govt demolished 20 years of MGNREGA in one day: Rahul
Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Congress, criticized the Modi government's new VB-G RAM G Bill, calling it "anti-village" and a demolition of 20 years of the MGNREGA program. Gandhi argued that the bill weakens rural workers' bargaining power, denies them work opportunities, and will disproportionately impact marginalized communities. He called for the bill to be withdrawn and criticized its rushed passage through Parliament without proper scrutiny or public hearings. The bill aims to replace the existing MGNREGA with a 125-day guarantee of rural wage employment.
