Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala criticized the BJP government's replacement of MGNREGA with the VB-G RAM G Act, alleging it impacts 50 crore poor people. He claimed the BJP uses Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Ram for propaganda while ignoring their ideals. Surjewala stated MGNREGA was demand-driven and centrally funded, whereas the new act centralizes decisions in Delhi and shifts 40% of costs to states, affecting 12.5 crore individuals directly.
