Madikeri: The Kodagu district Congress committee on Thursday held a protest march in Ponnampet condemning the implementation of VB-G RAM G Act by the Union govt. The protesters gathered in front of the Mahatma Gandhi circle and voiced their opposition, alleging that the new act will exploit the poor.Virajpet MLA AS Ponnanna flagged off the protest rally, in which Congress workers from across the district participated. “The BJP-led NDA govt abandoned the MNREGA scheme and renamed it to keep the poor as poor. The Union govt has no answer to the questions asked by Congress. India cannot be developed solely on the basis of emotions and hatred,” Ponnanna stated.
Kodagu district Congress committee president Dharmaja Uthappa and several others were present during the rally. Various panchayat members participated in the protest.
