Congress MP Shashi Tharoor remarked that the naming of the new Viksit Bharat–Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill (VB–G RAM G Bill), 2025, is in itself anti-Constitutional since it involves two languages. He condemned the removal of Mahatma Gandhi's name from the bill that deals with rural employment.
Opposition leaders vehemently opposed the new VB–G RAM G Bill, 2025 (VB–G Ram G), to replace the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), on December 16 in Lok Sabha for various issues, such as a revised fund-sharing pattern between the centre and states in a 60:40 ratio, respectively.
