Telangana Cabinet to Decide on Legal Response to VB-G RAM-G Act on July 2
Telangana's Cabinet Sub-Committee, led by Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, is reviewing the Union Government's VB-G RAM-G Act, which replaces MGNREGA. The committee plans to consult with Karnataka and Kerala on a coordinated legal response, considering constitutional challenges and financial concerns. The Telangana Cabinet will decide on July 2 whether to adopt the central law, enact its own legislation, approach the Supreme Court, or combine legal and administrative actions. Civil society groups advocate for a state-specific employment guarantee law.
