Rahul Gandhi Slams Centre Over VB-G Ram G Bill: 'PM Modi's Targets Clear'

• Rahul Gandhi alleges the VB-G Ram G Bill, cleared by Lok Sabha, aims to 'demolish' MGNREGA, not revamp it.
• He states the bill weakens labor and rural India's leverage, turning a demand-driven guarantee into a rationed scheme controlled from Delhi.
• Gandhi highlights MGNREGA's role in empowering rural workers and fears the new bill will disproportionately affect women, Dalits, and tribals.
• The Congress leader criticizes the bill for being 'bulldozed' through Parliament without proper scrutiny or expert consultation.
• The VB-G Ram G Bill proposes 125 days of work, but shifts funding to a centrally sponsored model with states bearing excess costs, unlike MGNREGA's demand-driven, fully Centre-funded approach.

Why It Matters: Rahul Gandhi criticizes the VB-G Ram G Bill as an attempt to weaken rural labor and centralize power.
