The BJP on Monday (December 22, 2025) termed Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's claims about the VB-G RAM G Act a "flight of political fancy" and alleged that her arguments against the law rest on "mischaracterisations, selective memory and outright falsehoods".
The Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Bill, which replaces the MGNREGA, became an Act with President Droupadi Murmu's assent on Sunday (December 21).
The bulldozed demolition of MGNREGA
Parliament passed the bill during its just-concluded Winter Session last week, amid vociferous protests by the Opposition in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
Criticising the law, Gandhi said the "demolition" of the historic Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) will have catastrophic consequences for crores of people across rural India and called upon all to unite and safeguard the rights that protect everyone.
