'RAM G Bill will weaken MGNREGA,' says Priyanka Gandhi, calls Modi govt obsessive over renaming

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized the governments bill to replace MGNREGA, saying it would weaken the Acts guarantee of 100 days of employment for the poorest. She also questioned the governments practice of renaming schemes, highlighting the costs involved and changes in control, as the new bill gives the Centre authority over fund allocation instead of gram panchayats.
