Rahul Gandhi Visits Rae Bareli to Lead Protests Against MGNREGA Replacement

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is undertaking a two-day visit to his Rae Bareli constituency to lead protests against the replacement of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) with the new Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act. His schedule includes addressing an MGNREGA chaupal, inaugurating a local cricket tournament, meeting party officials, and interacting with villagers. The Congress opposes the new law, claiming it weakens rural employment guarantees and plans nationwide agitations, including parliamentary discussions led by party leaders.
