Chennai, Dec. 24 -- The ruling DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu staged a protest in Chennai on Wednesday against the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Act.

The demonstration saw participation from leaders of the DMK and its allies, who termed the move an attempt to erase Mahatma Gandhi's legacy from the MGNREGA.

Addressing the media during the protest, Dravidar Kazhagam president K Veeramani strongly criticised the proposed renaming, asserting that Gandhi's ideals cannot be removed through legislative changes. "Gandhi cannot be removed from the hearts of the people. His thoughts, principles and sacrifices are deeply embedded in Indian society," Veeramani said.
