Karnataka Passes Resolution Opposing VB-G RAM G Act
6.2
Karnataka's legislature on February 4, 2026 passed a resolution opposing repeal of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and its replacement by the VB-G RAM G Act, 2025, after BJP and JD(S) members staged a walkout. The resolution, approved by voice vote, will be sent to the President and central government; ministers flagged fiscal and federalism concerns, citing a major funding gap.
Key Points
- 1Passed resolution opposing repeal of MGNREGA and replacement by VB-G RAM G Act, 2025
- 2Argued new law raises state expenditure share from 10% to 40%, labelled 'economic terrorism' and anti‑federal
- 3Signals funding shortfall; Karnataka says ₹3.83 lakh crore needed for 125 days while Centre earmarks ₹95,000 crore
Scoring Rationale
Official legislative action highlights clear fiscal and constitutional concerns, but its impact is limited by state-level scope and modest novelty.
