Name change of MNREGA scheme of Central Government: Congress movement started

Bhopal. The decision of the Central Government to change the name of MNREGA scheme to “Vikas Bharat Guarantee Employment Livelihood Mission Rural (VB-G-RAM-G)” has shaken the political situation in Madhya Pradesh. Congress is now ready to take to the streets in protest against this decision. Former Chief Minister and Rajya Sabha MP Digvijay Singh has announced that he will start his padyatra from Sehore, the home district of Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, from January 5. The purpose of this yatra is not just to protest against the name change, but it will be a movement to protect the ideas and dignity of Gandhi.

Resolve to protect Gandhi’s soul

While talking to the media in Sehore, Digvijay Singh said that this struggle is not for any party but to protect the soul of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi. He also said that the government is trying to remove Gandhi’s name from the schemes, which is a serious attack on the history and soul of the country. This Padyatra will be started from any Gram Panchayat of Sehore district, so that the voice of rural India can reach Delhi directly.

Congress’s allegation: ideological attack

Congress says that changing the name of MNREGA is not just an administrative decision, but it is an ideological attack. By removing the name of Mahatma Gandhi, the government is trying to erase the history that brought independence to the country and provided rights to the poor. After the bill related to this change was passed in the Lok Sabha, Congress has called it an anti-Gandhi step. Digvijay Singh raised the question that when the government is trying to exclude Gandhi from literature, in which direction is it taking the country?

awakening of public consciousness

The purpose of the padayatra is not only to protest but also to create awareness among the villagers. Digvijay Singh will interact with workers, farmers, women, and youth to tell them that MNREGA is not just a scheme but a lifeline for the poor. This yatra is not a political program but the beginning of a people’s movement, which will reach from the streets of the villages to the steps of the Parliament.

political agenda 2025

Congress is planning to make this topic a central issue of its 2025 political agenda. The party believes that removing Gandhi’s name from MNREGA is to hurt the soul of India, which is based on truth, labor and equality. Digvijay Singh made it clear that this march will not stop until the government brings back Gandhi’s name.

Sehore: center of movement

District Congress President Rajiv Gujarati said that Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s home district Sehore is going to be the main center of this movement. This is not just a name changing protest, but it will decide whether the soul of India will be safe in Gandhi or lost in power politics. It is worth noting that the Central Government has changed the name of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) to Vikas Bharat Guaranteed Employment Livelihood Mission Rural. A bill regarding changes in this scheme has also been passed in the Lok Sabha, on which Congress has expressed serious objection.
