The Centre is set to replace the UPA-era Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) with the new Viksit Bharat—Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill, 2025, also known as the ‘G. Ramji Bill’. This special report debates the contentious legislation, featuring BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, who argues the bill increases guaranteed work from 100 to 125 days and improves accountability with a 60-40 Centre-State funding model. In opposition, Congress spokesperson Dr. Ajoy Kumar and economist Jean Drèze warn that the move shifts the fiscal burden to states and undermines the employment guarantee with a new ‘switch-off clause’. The program also reports on other major national stories, including the cancellation of the India-South Africa T20 match in Lucknow due to severe smog and pollution in North India. Further updates include the arrest of the Luthra brothers in Goa and the encounter of the alleged mastermind behind the murder of Kabaddi player Rana Balachauria.
