flag Indian Congress leads nationwide protests over new rural jobs law, demanding reinstatement of MGNREGA.

flag On January 26, 2026, the Indian National Congress launched nationwide protests, including a march in Bengaluru, demanding the rollback of the new VB-G RAM G rural employment law that replaced the MGNREGA scheme. flag The protests, part of a broader campaign, were led by Congress leaders who argued the new law undermines the constitutional right to work and shifts financial burdens to states. flag Demonstrators, including panchayat members and laborers, called for the restoration of MGNREGA, citing concerns over job security and federal principles. flag Protests were also held in Tamil Nadu, where villagers boycotted a gram sabha meeting over the government’s refusal to include their demand to scrap the new law.
