Congress slams government for ‘dismantling’ MGNREGA after passage of VB-G Ram G Bill
Congress party members held nationwide protests against the Modi government's replacement of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) with the VB-G Ram G Bill. Party leaders, including general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal and general secretary (communication) Jairam Ramesh, criticized the move as dismantling a legal right to work and argued that it undermines the scheme's original goals. The Congress will discuss future actions at its meeting on December 27th and hold programmes across India on December 28th to reaffirm their commitment to MGNREGA's ideals.
