The Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Employment and Livelihood Mission (Rural) Bill, dubbed G RAM G — meant to be an updated version of UPA government’s flagship MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Act) was pushed through parliament within two days amid massive turbulence and bitter protests in both houses.
The bill had made it through the Lok Sabha despite protests and walkouts on Thursday afternoon. The debate in Rajya Sabha went on post-midnight and around 12.15 am, the voting was held and the bill was passed by voice vote.
Despite the outrage of the Congress, which has been protesting over the switch in name from Mahatma Gandhi to G Ram G, the outcome was not in doubt given the numbers. Still, the Opposition out up a strong fight, initially demanding that the bill be referred to a standing Committee. Later, they called for an outright withdrawal of the bill. In the end, they walked and bill was passed in both houses in presence of the members of the ruling alliance.
