Parliament Showdown: Opposition Tears Copies of 'VB-G RAM G' Bill; Shivraj Singh Chouhan to Brief Media

In this special report, India Today Senior Correspondent Piyush Mishra details the dramatic showdown in the Lok Sabha over the passage of the ‘Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin)’ (VB-G RAM G) Bill, 2025. The legislation, which replaces the MGNREGA, faced fierce resistance as opposition MPs tore copies of the bill, claiming the government was in a ‘tearing hurry to bulldoze’ it through. Mishra reports that a protest march was held from the Mahatma Gandhi statue to Makar Dwar. Despite the uproar, the bill was passed via voice vote. Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is scheduled to address a press conference at the BJP office at 3:30 PM to respond to the opposition's allegations.
