Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized the Congress and the INDIA bloc for opposing the VB – G RAM G Act, alleging their resistance stems from a fear of exposure. He emphasized that the opposition’s stance is not against progress but rather a defense mechanism. Adityanath highlighted that supporting the Act would reveal the true nature of the Opposition, prompting their continued resistance.
Addressing concerns at a press conference, CM Yogi stated that the legislation is crucial for rural India, farmers, and laborers. He underscored the Act’s significance for the nation’s development and criticized the Opposition for questioning its intent. Adityanath stressed that the Act aims to empower villages, strengthen the rural economy, and ensure social security for laborers.
Yogi Adityanath accused the Congress and its allies of fostering corruption during their rule, citing issues like incomplete assets and wage discrepancies. He pointed out deficiencies in the previous system, including delays in wage payments and weak grievance redressal mechanisms. Adityanath asserted that those opposing the Act are essentially hindering progress and advocating for corruption, rather than supporting development initiatives.
Highlighting the provisions of the VB – G RAM G Act, CM Yogi mentioned mandatory social audits every six months, a digital grievance redressal system, and audits aligned with CAG standards to curb corruption. He expressed confidence that the Act will revolutionize rural India, ensuring transparency, accountability, and safeguarding the rights of laborers and farmers. Adityanath concluded that opposition to the Act signifies a stance against development and in favor of corruption.
