Punjab Assembly Special Session to Address New Rural Employment Act Amidst Opposition Criticism

Punjab's Assembly is set for a potentially contentious one-day special session starting at 11 am. The agenda includes tributes and obituary references, followed by the tabling of three Bills. A key focus will be a resolution against the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, which the ruling AAP claims will negatively impact rural laborers and shift financial burdens to states. The Congress party criticizes the session as an 'eyewash,' citing the AAP government's alleged failure to provide sufficient MGNREGA work and matching grants.
