Thousands of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers and leaders protested in Punjab against the Union government's decision to rename the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) to Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajivika Mission (Gramin). Protesters called the move "anti-worker" and demanded the scheme remain unchanged, fearing it would harm rural households and reduce work availability. AAP leaders stated the protest aimed to highlight the scheme's importance for poor rural families and landless laborers.
