Arunachal Congress Alleges New Rural Employment Bill Erodes Legal Work Guarantees

The Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) criticizes the BJP-led state government's proposed VB-G-RAM-G Bill, alleging it undermines the legal right to rural employment guaranteed by MGNREGA. APCC president Bosiram Siram claims the bill replaces a demand-driven entitlement with a discretionary, budget-dependent scheme, potentially reducing actual employment days and delaying wages. Concerns are also raised about the 90:10 funding formula burdening tribal states and centralizing authority, weakening local institutions.
