Congress Alleges Attendance Fraud in VB-G RAM G Scheme, Criticizes BJP
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused the BJP of attendance fraud in the VB-G RAM G scheme, alleging use of a clone app to mark fake attendance and claiming this undermines the rights of the poor. He criticized the BJP for invoking Lord Shri Ram's name while allegedly facilitating corruption and violating employment rights. The VB-G RAM G Act, which replaced MGNREGA from July 1, is at the center of these allegations, with Congress framing the issue as a betrayal of faith and poor citizens' rights.
