Congress Launches Nationwide Protests Against VB-G RAM G Act, Demands MGNREGA Restoration

The Congress party is intensifying its nationwide campaign, 'MGNREGA Bachao Sangram,' to oppose the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act (VB-G RAM G) and demand the restoration of MGNREGA as a rights-based law. Activities include panchayat-level outreach, hunger strikes, padayatras, sit-ins, and gheraos across states like Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, and Karnataka. Rahul Gandhi will attend a protest in Rae Bareli on January 20, while state leaders plan legislative sessions and public demonstrations to highlight concerns over the Act's implementation without state consultation.
