BJP readies grassroots push to blunt Opposition attack on 'G Ram G' law

New Delhi: With the Congress' planned agitation against the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Grameen) law or VB-G RAM G, the BJP has chalked out a detailed comprehensive strategy to counter the Opposition's narrative. The party has appointed a national team to oversee all the programmes related to VB-G RAM G which it will be conducting in coming weeks.

BJP national general secretary Arun Singh has been appointed as the coordinator for the programmes. He will be supported by BJP Kisan Morcha national president Rajkumar Chahar, national vice-president Rekha Verma, national secretary OP Dhankhar, and BJP Kisan Morcha national general secretary Shambhu Kumar. A separate national-level monitoring team has also been constituted to oversee all the activities in this regard. The plan was discussed in detail in the recently-held meeting by BJP president JP Nadda and national working president Nitin Nabin with party state presidents.

The party is of the view that the Congress and other Opposition parties will try to build a narrative by terming the law as "ending MGNREGA" and it being "anti-poor, anti-farmer." So the BJP wants to hit the ground pre-empting the Opposition's move.
