Union Minister Kiren Rijiju stated that the MGNREGA program was a "guarantee of loot" and that the new 'Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Aajeevika Mission (Grameen)' (VB-G RAM G) Act eliminates corruption through digitization and monitoring. He asserted that the new law, which has come into effect, will ensure better rural development and infrastructure, increasing guaranteed employment days. Rijiju dismissed opposition criticism as "misinformation" and "false propaganda," drawing parallels to past controversies like the CAA.
