Reposting the post of the Leader of Opposition, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav wrote, ‘Thank you Rahul Gandhi for accepting the success of Shri Narendra Modi’s Make in India program. As you have said, we are becoming a producer economy by implementing the vision of our PM.

What did Rahul Gandhi write in the post?

Actually, Rahul Gandhi was giving the example of Karnataka, but in the beginning he talked about India’s growth and providing jobs. Ashwini Vaishnav thanked the Leader of Opposition for this. While sharing a post, Rahul Gandhi wrote, ’30 thousand staff were given jobs in just 8-9 months. This is the fastest factory ramp up ever in India. This is not just a statistic. This is transformative job creation. Which makes it even more powerful. That is, this unit is mostly run by women.

Karnataka has prepared such an ecosystem: Rahul Gandhi

The leader of the opposition further wrote, ‘Almost 80% of these are women. The age of most of them is 19 to 24 years. For many people this is their first job. Karnataka is setting an example by creating such an ecosystem. Where manufacturing can grow at this scale and speed. This is the India we have to create. Jobs with dignity and opportunity for all.

India’s New Labor Codes: There is a wide discussion these days about the new labor code implemented in the country, because it can have far-reaching effects on issues like gratuity, salary structure, gig workers, women’s night shifts and contract work. Four new labor codes – Wage Code 2019, Industrial Relations Code 2020, Social Security Code 2020 and Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code 2020 – implemented across the country from November 21, 2025, have replaced 29 old labor laws that were in place since independence.

Why were new labor codes brought?

The purpose of bringing these laws was to simplify and uniform the labor system in accordance with the changing work culture, technology and new forms of employment, but experts believe that there is still ambiguity on many important points.

Speaking to ABP Live, IIMC Professor Shivaji Sarkar said that even though the new laws have been introduced as reforms, the situation regarding the definition of DA and salary is not completely clear. He said that if the allowances exceed 50 percent of the total salary, then it has been said that they should be included in ‘wages’, but no concrete guidelines have been given to control the salaries decided by the industry, due to which employers can get more benefits and employees can get limited benefits.

What are the important changes?

According to him, there is still a provision of eight hours of duty as before and work more than that will be considered overtime, and workers associated with digital and audio-visual media have also been brought under its purview, but how much this will actually benefit the employees will become clear only in the future.

These questions are arising

Shivaji Sarkar expressed concern that the promotion of contract work and abolition of the Wage Board could increase social discontent, as this could weaken the security of permanent employment. Although bringing gig and freelance workers under the legal ambit is a positive step, there are no concrete guarantees in the law on how their wages, social security and rights will be ensured.

He also raised the question that when even the regular employees remain afraid of losing their jobs, then how will the workers from the weaker section be able to resort to the courts again and again for justice. Overall, the new labor code is giving the impression that it may be easier for employers to fire employees, while there is less clarity regarding the rights and protections of employees, in such a situation it is necessary for the government to clearly define the rights, obligations and benefits contained in these laws, so that both workers and employers can get the benefit of a balanced and equitable system.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that major decisions in the interest of farmers have become possible only after the coming of the BJP government. He said, ‘You think, why is the work for the farmers happening after the BJP government came to power? Namrup was the center of fertilizer production for decades.

Congress governments accused of neglect

The first reaction of Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor has come to light on changing the name of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGA). He has called this controversy unfortunate. Tharoor said that the controversy over changing the name of MNREGA in the government’s proposed new G-RAM-G bill is unfortunate. The government’s proposed new concept of Gram Swaraj and the ideal of Ram Rajya were never opposed to each other.

He said that they were the two pillars of Gandhiji’s thinking. Removing the Mahatma’s name from a scheme for the rural poor ignores this deep connection. His last breath was a proof of his faith in ‘Ram’.

The controversy over renaming MGNREGA in the Govt’s proposed new G-RAM-G Bill is unfortunate. The concept of Gram Swaraj and the ideal of Ram Rajya were never competing forces; they were the twin pillars of Gandhiji’s consciousness. Replacing the Mahatma’s name in a scheme for…

You are the CEC of India: Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi targets RSS

Rahul Gandhi targeted RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. He said that today the real struggle is going on in the country between truth and untruth.

The foundation of Indian culture and all religions is based on truth.

Quoting Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Rahul said that truth is the greatest value. But RSS’s thinking is opposite to this. Truth has no importance in the ideology of Mohan Bhagwat and RSS. There only power and authority are kept supreme.

Home Minister Amit Shah cornered on vote theft

Rahul Gandhi also targeted Home Minister Amit Shah on the issue of vote theft. He said that he had no answers to my questions. The government had no answers to the questions I had asked in the presentation. That’s why Amit Shah was trembling in Parliament.

He said that the fight going on in the country today is between power versus truth. They have power, we have truth. I say with a guarantee that by standing with the truth we will remove Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and RSS-BJP from power. He said that people from different parts of the country are joining this fight. This is the real strength of democracy.
