Sonia Gandhi Slams Centre Over New G-Ram G Law Replacing MGNREGA

In a scathing critique, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi has slammed the Modi government's new 'Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin)' or VB-G RAM G law, which replaces the landmark MGNREGA scheme. Gandhi termed the move a 'bulldozer attack' on the rights-based legislation enacted in 2005. She highlighted that the new law increases the state's financial burden from 10% to 40% and replaces demand-driven employment with fixed budget caps. The India Today report details the political showdown, with the Congress alleging the structural dismantling of the rural employment guarantee.
