The Congress party has launched a 45-day nationwide campaign, the 'MGNREGA Bachao Sangram,' protesting the repeal of the UPA-era MGNREGA and its replacement with the VB-G RAM G Act. The party demands the restoration of MGNREGA as a rights-based law, emphasizing the right to work and panchayat authority. The campaign, running until February 25, includes press conferences, fasts, protests, and rallies. Some critics allege the new law is ideologically driven and politically motivated, while the BJP defends it as a new structure for rural development.
