The Kerala Assembly took a stand on Thursday by passing a resolution demanding the withdrawal of the newly implemented VB-G RAM G rural employment scheme.
This action seeks to push the Centre to reinstate the older MGNREGA program, well-regarded for being fully funded by the central government.
Amidst heated protests related to the Sabarimala gold loss, the state Parliamentary Affairs Minister M B Rajesh highlighted the financial strain VB-G RAM G imposes, requiring the state to cover 40% of the costs.
