Priyanka questions govt's move to drop Gandhi's name from MGNREGA replacement

• Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized the government's move to replace MGNREGA, questioning the removal of Mahatma Gandhi's name and the intention behind it.
• A new bill, the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Bill, 2025, is set to be introduced in Lok Sabha to repeal MGNREGA.
• The proposed VB-G RAM G Bill aims to provide 125 days of wage employment to rural households and align with the "Viksit Bharat 2047" vision.
• Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan justified the change, citing socio-economic transformation and the need to strengthen the rural development framework.

Why It Matters: Proposed bill changes rural employment scheme and removes Mahatma Gandhi's name.
