Sonia Gandhi Wears Mask in Parliament Ahead of Pollution Debate as Opposition Takes on Smog Crisis

Opposition Protests VB-G Ram G Bill in Parliament, Kharge Leads March Over Gandhi Name

India Today Associate Editor Himanshu Mishra reports on the opposition's protest march in Parliament against the new V.V.G. Ramji Bill, which is set to replace MGNREGA. Led by Mallikarjun Kharge, MPs marched from the Gandhi statue to Makar Dwar to oppose the removal of Mahatma Gandhi's name from the act. Mishra highlights the financial implications, noting that 'the state government will take over 40% of the budget', which could impact state development projects. He also confirms that while the bill guarantees 125 days of work, the Samajwadi Party and Aam Aadmi Party abstained from the protest.
