'MGNREGA bulldozed' - Sonia Gandhi targets Modi govt in video message, says Congress workers ready to fight ‘black law’

  • On Saturday , Sonia Gandhi, Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson, said the Modi Government bulldozed MGNREGA and lakhs of Congress workers will defy the `black law`.
  • By removing Mahatma Gandhi's name and altering the scheme, Gandhi alleged Parliament passed the VB-G RAM G Bill to replace MGNREGA without consultation, triggering protests.
  • The new law specifies guaranteed work days increase from 100 to 125 and funding shifts so the Centre provides 60% and states 40%, reversing MGNREGA’s earlier pattern.
  • According to Gandhi, MGNREGA had halted migration, secured legal employment rights and empowered gram panchayats, but weakening the law attacked crores of farmers, labourers and landless people.
  • The Congress has already started planning nationwide protests and will meet its Congress Working Committee on December 27, with leaders saying Opposition parties may support the issue due to financial burden shifts to states.
