MNREGA replaced with G Ram G for better development rural infrastructure of country: Rijju

Lucknow, Jan 13 (UNI) union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Welfare Kiren Rijiju today claimed that G RAM G (Viksit Bharat - Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission Rural) Act has been brought in place of MNREGA for better development of rural infrastructure in the country.
Rijiju said that Uttar Pradesh is the largest state and the BJP and the state government will reach out to the public to explain the benefits of the bill.
Talking to media, the union minister further claimed that "despite spending Rs 11 lakh crore on MNREGA, there was no development in rural areas. Work was not being done where employment was needed. Expenditure was not being made according to the needs. It was a guarantee of loot, not employment. That is why VB-G RAM G has been introduced for a developed India. All avenues for misuse have been closed."
