Punjab's Rural Development Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond has criticized the Union Government's new Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) scheme, calling it a 'black law' that undermines MGNREGA. He claims the VB-G RAM G will shift financial burdens to states, negatively impact poor and Scheduled Caste families, and reduce guaranteed workdays. Punjab estimates a Rs 600 crore annual loss and plans a special assembly session to pass a resolution against the scheme, urging other states to unite in opposition.
