Discussion is going on in the Lok Sabha regarding the Vikas Bharat Ji Ram Ji Bill in place of MNREGA.

The government on Tuesday introduced the ‘Developed India-Ji Ram Ji Bill, 2025’ in the Lok Sabha amid opposition opposition, which replaces the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA).
I would like to oppose the introduction of the proposed bill, the VB–G RAM G Bill, which represents a deeply regrettable and retrograde step for our nation and for our nation’s commitment to the welfare of its most vulnerable citizens.

Shashi Tharoor lashed out openly in the House
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday opposed the introduction of the developed Bharat-Ji Ram Ji Bill 2025 in the Lok Sabha. Referring to a song from Dev Anand’s famous film ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’, he took a dig at the ruling party, ‘Look O crazy people, don’t do this work, don’t defame Ram’s name.’
‘Mahatma Gandhi’s Ram Rajya was not a political project’
Tharoor said, ‘Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of Ram Rajya was never a purely political project. It was a socio-economic blueprint based on strengthening villages. His unwavering belief in Gram Swaraj was a key part of that vision.
Shashi Tharoor claimed that by naming the Father of the Nation in the original Act, the deep connection was acknowledged that true employment guarantee and progress should come from the grassroots level only, which reflected his principle of putting the last man first. He alleged that removing Mahatma Gandhi’s name from the bill amounts to snatching away its moral basis and historical validity.
