India's main opposition Congress party has criticised the government over the use of the Aadhaar-Based Payment System.

The Congress party is criticizing the Modi government's use of Aadhaar technology for payments under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA). They claim that the government is using technology to exclude vulnerable Indians from receiving their social welfare benefits. With the deadline for mandating Aadhaar-based payments having ended on December 31, 2023, Congress calls for an end to this alleged weaponization of technology.
