Congress Slams Centre's MGNREGA Overhaul, Calls it 'Anti-National'

• Congress Working Committee (CWC) unanimously condemned the Centre's renaming and restructuring of MGNREGA.
• The Centre replaced MGNREGA 2005 with the Viksit Bharat—Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB—G RAM G) Bill, 2025.
• Congress leaders labeled the move "anti-national" and "anti-federal," alleging it weakens the "right to work."
• The new bill increases wage employment to 125 days but introduces structural changes and cost-sharing for states.
• CWC meeting also discussed upcoming Assembly elections, vote theft strategies, and national challenges.

Why It Matters: Congress strongly opposes Centre's MGNREGA changes, citing dilution of employment rights.
