Tharoor Slams BJP's G Ram G Bill: 'Immoral To Remove Gandhi's Name'

• Congress MP Shashi Tharoor opposed BJP's move to replace MGNREGA with the Viksit Bharat Guarantee For Rozgar And Ajeevika Mission (G Ram G).
• Tharoor called it "immoral" to remove Mahatma Gandhi's name from the scheme and urged the government not to "sully Ram's name."
• The new G Ram G bill shifts 40% of the financial burden to states, a significant change from MGNREGA where the central government covers 100% of unskilled worker wages.
• Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also demanded the bill's withdrawal, questioning the 'craze' to change scheme names and highlighting MGNREGA's 20-year success.
• Opposition leaders, including BJP ally Telugu Desam Party, object to the increased financial burden on state finances imposed by G Ram G.

Why It Matters: Shashi Tharoor and opposition criticize BJP's G Ram G bill for removing Gandhi's name and shifting financial burden.
