Rahul Gandhi Criticizes Modi Government's Replacement of MGNREGA Scheme

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, criticized the Modi government for replacing the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) with the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (VG-G RAM G). He alleged this change undermines protections for the rural poor, centralizes power, and shifts financial responsibility to states. Gandhi accused the government of diverting funds to large industrialists and removing Gandhi's name from the scheme, calling it an insult and a threat to grassroots democracy. The Congress has launched a nationwide campaign to oppose these changes and protect workers' rights.
