The Congress on Sunday flagged that several states have raised concerns regarding MGNREGA-substitute VB G RAM G Act, and said the new law would guarantee only centralisation and further financial stress on states.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the Modi government, “vengeful and petty” as ever, bulldozed the repeal of MGNREGA through Parliament without any thorough consultation with the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Rural Development, state governments, or other relevant stakeholders.
Now it emerges that several states have raised concerns regarding its substitute VB G RAM G scheduled for launch from July 1, Ramesh said on X.
