Minister Defends New Rural Scheme, Accuses Congress of Spreading Misinformation on MGNREGA

Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has criticized the Congress's 'MGNREGA Bachao Sangram,' labeling it a 'save corruption campaign' and asserting that the new VB-G RAM G scheme is superior to MGNREGA. Chouhan alleged rampant corruption and inefficiencies under MGNREGA, citing issues like machine use and siphoned funds. He stated VB-G RAM G offers better worker protection, guarantees 125 days of work, and promotes village development with a significant central allocation. The Congress plans protests demanding the withdrawal of the VB-G RAM G Act.
