Congress Alleges Fake Attendance Fraud in VB-G RAM G Scheme Against BJP
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh accused the BJP of fake attendance fraud in the VB-G RAM G employment scheme, citing cases in Gorakhpur and Sant Kabir Nagar districts. He linked these allegations to broader concerns about misuse of Lord Ram's name, including a donation theft case. The BJP has not publicly responded to these claims. Reports mention the use of clone apps to mark false attendance, raising questions about the scheme's integrity and its impact on employment rights for the poor.
