Sharmila Blasts Modi, Calls Him 'Modern-Day Godse' Over MGNREGA Changes
•APCC Chief Y.S. Sharmila Reddy criticized the central government's changes to the Employment Guarantee Act during her Chittoor tour.
•She alleged that the new law weakens the scheme, removes Gandhi's name, and harms the poor by reducing work rights and Gram Sabha powers.
•Sharmila stated that welfare schemes introduced by Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy are disappearing, and the employment guarantee scheme is being weakened.
•She mocked the promise of 125 days of employment, noting the government hasn't provided an average of 50 days, and alleged the new law benefits contractors.
•Sharmila condemned the 40% financial burden on states and vowed that Congress would continue its struggle until the act is restored.
