The Punjab Assembly unanimously passed a resolution opposing the Centre's new Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, which replaces MGNREGA. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and other AAP leaders criticized the Act, claiming it "snatches" livelihoods from the poor, Dalits, women, and marginalized sections by altering the scheme's demand-driven, right-based nature to a norm-based system. Opposition parties, including Congress and SAD, questioned the AAP government's motives and the session's effectiveness, while the BJP defended the Centre's move, citing potential scams in the previous scheme.
