MGNREGA
In Karnataka, opposition parties BJP and JD(S) have accused the state Congress government of spreading misinformation about the Union government's VB-G RAM G scheme. They are welcoming Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's decision to convene a special legislative session to discuss the issue. The opposition has challenged Congress to an open debate, describing the scheme as vital for rural employment.

Following Parliament's passage of the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act—or VB-G RAM G Act—replacing MGNREGA last month, Congress has announced a 45-day nationwide agitation titled 'MGNREGA Bachao Sangram' to demand restoration of rural employment rights. The protests criticize the new law's centralization, while the BJP ramps up outreach ahead of state elections.
