Karnataka flags how VB G-RAM G Act will hurt State’s finances further
Karnataka is facing an additional annual expenditure of ₹3,000 crore to ₹4,000 crore due to the new Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act. The state government has accused the Centre of burdening it with this cost without consulting them, claiming the name change is an attempt to erase Mahatma Gandhi's legacy. The Congress Working Committee has vowed to protest against the legislation, while Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge expressed concerns about curtailing state powers and potential negative impacts on rural employment and livelihoods.
