Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan strongly criticized the Congress party during a press conference. He accused the opposition of spreading what he called deliberate lies about the new VB-G RAM G scheme.
Government Counters Opposition Campaign
The minister specifically addressed Congress's nationwide campaign against the legislation that will replace the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. He stated the opposition is misleading the public with false claims.
Employment Availability Clarified
Chouhan emphasized that employment under the new VB-G RAM G scheme will not be restricted to certain panchayats only. He called this particular claim completely baseless and designed to create unnecessary fear among rural communities.
The Union minister made these remarks while speaking to journalists at the press conference. He expressed confidence that the new scheme would benefit workers across all eligible regions without arbitrary geographical limitations.
This response comes as political tensions rise over the proposed replacement of the long-standing rural employment guarantee program. The government maintains the new legislation will improve upon existing frameworks while opposition parties voice strong objections.
