Karnataka Cabinet to Challenge New Rural Employment Act in Court

Karnataka's Cabinet has unanimously resolved to challenge the new VB-G RAM G Act in court, rejecting its implementation. The state argues the Act, which replaces MGNREGA, violates the constitutional right to work and livelihood, undermines Panchayats, and compromises the federal structure by excluding states from consultations and mandating a 40% cost share. Karnataka joins Punjab and Telangana in opposing the central legislation, aiming to raise public awareness about its perceived adverse impacts.
