Himachal Pradesh's CM led protests against central MGNREGA cuts, citing rural harm and financial strain.
Himachal Pradesh's Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu led a protest in Shimla on December 29, 2025, against the central government's plan to discontinue the MGNREGA scheme, calling it anti-rural and harmful to millions of rural families.
The state government criticized the shift from local, panchayat-driven planning to centralized control, warning it undermines grassroots democracy and weakens implementation.
The state will now bear a larger financial burden, covering 10% of wages and an additional Rs 80 daily, while MNREGA officer salaries in Zila Parishads are being suspended.
The Congress also opposed a proposed reduction in apple import duties, citing harm to local farmers.
Protests are set to expand across districts.
