CPI(M)’s Brinda Karat urges Centre to withdraw VB-GRAMG rules, retain MGNREGA

Brinda Karat, a former Rajya Sabha MP from CPI(M), has called on the Indian government to withdraw the new VB-GRAMG employment rules, arguing that they centralize decision-making and undermine federalism. She contends that this framework leads to discrimination against workers based on their residence, which could have significant implications for labor rights and employment opportunities across states. The retention of MGNREGA is highlighted as crucial for ensuring job security and support for rural workers.
