India, Dec. 16 -- Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra protested strongly against the Centre's new bill to replace the rural job guarantee scheme law MGNREGA in Parliament on Tuesday. She accused the Narendra Modi government of trying to replace the original law with a much weaker one for "someone's obsession".

This came after Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan sought permission to introduce the Viksit Bharat Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill, 2025, being called the VB 'G Ram G' bill. This bill is aimed at replacing the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.
