‘They will hand money meant for poor to Adani’: Rahul Gandhi launches nationwide MGNREGA campaign

Following a Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, the Congress party announced a nationwide campaign to safeguard MGNREGA, alleging the government made unilateral changes in Parliament. Congress pledged to mobilise women and young citizens to defend the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, framing the campaign as a fight to protect the fundamental right to work for rural Indians. Party leaders emphasised public mobilisation and grassroots activism to counter the perceived attack on workers’ rights.
