Opposition Leader Gandhi Slams New VB-G RAM G Act, Cites “Devastating Attack” on Poor

New Delhi, December 27, 2025 – Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led NDA government today, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of unilaterally dismantling the MGNREGA program through the newly passed VB-G RAM G Act.

Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Gandhi likened the Act to demonetisation, alleging a “devastating attack on states and the poor” orchestrated single-handedly by the Prime Minister. He claimed the VB-G RAM G Act, which replaces the 20-year-old MGNREGA, undermines a globally recognized development framework and represents an assault on a rights-based approach to poverty alleviation.

“The Prime Minister single-handedly destroyed MGNREGA without asking his Cabinet, without studying the matter,” Gandhi stated, emphasizing the Act’s passage during the recent Winter Session of Parliament amidst strong opposition protests.

The VB-G RAM G Act provides for 125 days of wage employment for rural workers. Gandhi argued that this is insufficient and undermines the original intent of the MGNREGA.

In response to the Act, the Congress party plans to launch a nationwide “MGNREGA Bachao Abhiyan” (Save MGNREGA Campaign) on January 5th. Gandhi expressed confidence that the entire opposition would unite in resisting the government’s actions.

The controversy surrounding the VB-G RAM G Act is expected to escalate in the coming weeks as the Opposition prepares to challenge the government’s policies in Parliament and on the streets.
