The Lok Sabha saw the introduction of the Viksit Bharat - Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill, 2025—commonly called the VB-G RAM-G Bill—which is intended to replace the two-decade-old Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra strongly criticized the bill, claiming it would weaken MGNREGA and undermine its guarantee of 100 days of employment. During the Lok Sabha debate, the Wayanad MP argued that no legislation should be rushed through Parliament without proper consultation or discussion and accused the government of pushing the bill due to "personal obsession" or "bias."

Addressing the House, she said, "The bill should not be rushed through without proper consultation or discussion. It ought to be withdrawn, and a new bill should be introduced. Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy is an emotion shared by the nation, and this bill should be referred to the Standing Committee for detailed examination. No legislation should be pushed through merely due to personal obsession or bias." She also highlighted delays in MNREGA wage payments, stating, "This new bill will weaken the right to income for at least 100 days. Wherever you go, MNREGA employees will tell you they have not received their wages."

Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan sought the Lok Sabha’s approval to introduce the bill. The legislation proposes to increase wage employment to 125 days per rural household, up from 100, for adults willing to perform unskilled manual work. It also aims to ensure income security while creating durable, productivity-enhancing rural assets through a coordinated national development strategy.
