Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestLinkedinCopy URLTelegramEmailTumblrReddItPrintKoo Bengaluru, Jan 12: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday slammed the Centre for repealing the UPA-era MGNREGA and replacing it with a new rural employment scheme, VB-G RAM G. Labelling the BJP “anti-people”, he accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “handing over the country’s resources to big corporates” instead of helping the poor. He added that the Congress party’s fight against the central government over the repeal of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and its demand for restoring the scheme by scrapping the new Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) would continue.
