Congress attacked the central government over the VB-G Ramji scheme, which replaced MGNREGA. The party called the new system a 'surgical strike' on rural India's social safety net. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh cited a report revealing that in drought-hit Maharashtra's Beed district, no workers were found at five sites despite official records showing thousands employed under the scheme. He accused the BJP government of 'rural wage theft' amid severe drought conditions.
