The Punjab government has officially notified the VB-G RAM G scheme, marking a significant policy reversal that has drawn sharp criticism from the opposition Congress party. The scheme, whose full details are yet to be disclosed, was announced on June 27, 2026, according to a government notification.
Opposition Reacts
The Congress party accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of bowing to pressure and questioned the motivations behind the move. "Under what deal and compromise with the BJP has this scheme been implemented?" a Congress spokesperson asked, demanding transparency.
The notification comes months after the scheme was initially proposed and then shelved. The government has not provided a clear explanation for the reversal.
Political Implications
Political analysts view this as a potential blow to the AAP's credibility, especially after Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had earlier dismissed the scheme. The Congress has vowed to raise the issue in the assembly, seeking answers on the alleged "deal."
