Vote chori sarkaar perfected gramin mazdoori chori: Congress slams VB G RAM G Act after alleging no workers found at 5 Beed sites

Congress has accused the Modi government of replacing MGNREGA with VB-G RAM G, undermining rural support systems. Allegations of attendance fraud and wage theft have emerged from investigations in drought-hit Maharashtra. The VB-G RAM G Act, effective from July 1, aims to modernize rural employment while facing criticism. Local politicians are reportedly benefiting at the expense of workers' rights within this new framework.
