BJP's national working president, Nitin Nabin, is poised to take the forefront in the party's offensive against the Congress's nationwide agitation targeting the newly enacted VB-G RAM G Act of 2025. This development sets the stage for a significant political confrontation between the two major parties.
Nitin Nabin's Strategic Tamil Nadu Visit
Nitin Nabin is scheduled to embark on a two-day visit to poll-bound Tamil Nadu, starting Saturday, January 11, 2026. This move is strategically timed to counter the Congress's campaign against the contentious legislation. The former Bihar minister recently chaired an organizational meeting focused on the new rural job guarantee law earlier this week.
His visit will culminate in a key event at Neelambur on Sunday, where he is expected to formally set the tone and strategy for the BJP's nationwide counter-campaign. The VB-G RAM G Act, 2025, which has replaced the earlier MGNREGA scheme and introduced modifications to several of its core provisions, has become the central flashpoint for this political battle, with both parties firmly locking horns over its implementation and impact.
Congress Grapples with Internal Rebellion in Bihar
Meanwhile, the Congress party is dealing with internal dissent in Bihar. Following the party's recent defeat in the state Assembly elections, several Congress "rebels" faced disciplinary action from the Bihar state unit. Their political fate now hangs in the balance as they await a final decision from the party's high command.
In a bid to control the damage, some senior Congress leaders from the state have reportedly reached out to these dissidents. The leaders have advised them to refrain from making further public statements against party figures, including Bihar unit chief Rajesh Kumar and AICC in-charge for the state, Krishna Allavaru.
The dissenting group is likely to travel to Delhi soon in an attempt to meet Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. Their objective is to present their side of the story directly to him, seeking a resolution to the ongoing internal crisis.
Political Implications and the Road Ahead
The dual developments highlight the intense political maneuvering at play. While the BJP, under Nitin Nabin's leadership, prepares for a direct electoral and ideological clash with the Congress on a major policy issue, the opposition party is simultaneously striving to manage internal stability. The outcome of both these fronts—the public agitation over the Act and the private rebellion within Congress ranks—will significantly influence the political narrative in the coming months, especially with key states like Tamil Nadu in the electoral fray.
