The Telangana Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution urging the central government to reinstate the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy moved the resolution, stating the new Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) dilutes the original act's spirit, particularly affecting SC, ST, BC communities, and women. Concerns were raised about the new act's impact on wage work availability, federal funding contributions, and the removal of a 60-day break during peak farm seasons.
