VB-G RAM G bill is in country's interest: Scindia
INDORE [Maha Media]: The VB-G RAM G bill is in the country's interest, and its implementation will hurt only those who indulged in corruption and stole the wages of beneficiaries under the erstwhile Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has said.
The new legislation benefits farmers and the youth by increasing employment, he told reporters here on Friday.
Responding to the opposition leader Rahul Gandhi's criticism of the Narendra Modi government over the passage of the bill, Scindia took a dig at Gandhi's foreign trips, saying, "If he is the leader of the opposition, he should at least be in the House."
“The country is continuously progressing, but these people want to chain the country. The people of the country have repeatedly responded to their negative thinking (by rejecting them),” the minister added.
The Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha with a voice vote, hours after the Lok Sabha cleared it on Thursday, amid strong protests by the opposition over the removal of Mahatma Gandhi’s name from the existing rural employment guarantee scheme MGNREGA and accusing the government of putting the financial burden on states.
