Mounting a strong protest against the Centre’s new Bill to replace the rural job guarantee scheme MGNREGS, senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said the new Bill weakens the law and should be withdrawn. The Wayanad MP also said no law should be passed based on somebody’s whim, ambition and prejudice.
In the Lok Sabha today, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan sought permission to introduce the Viksit Bharat Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill, 2025, also known G Ram G Bill. This Bill aims to replace the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.
Priyanka Gandhi opposed the Bill under Rule 72(1) of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha. "I register my strong objection, MGNREGA has been successful in providing livelihood to rural India and strengthening the rural economy for 20 years. This is such a revolutionary law that when it was brought, all political parties in parliament supported it. This provides 100 days of employment in a year to the poorest of the poor in this country," she said.
