The BJP has introduced a new bill to replace the name of MNREGA with a new name and some deletions and additions G=RAM G. The MNREGA has been monitored since the UPA government under Sonia Gandhi as Chairperson of the National Advisory Committee. The changes would also reduce the importance and hard work done by Sonia Gandhi in launching this flagship program of the UPA government source says. TMC members sat on agitation throughout the night whereas DMK and AAP members sat for some time and left the venue source says. Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi did not utter words on the change of name and the basics of the scheme. Rahul Gandhi was out of the country during this entire period source says. TMC members decided on a night-long dharna after the refusal of the ruling party to send this new bill to the standing committee source says. It appears that the Congress party is increasingly becoming isolated within the opposition alliance, I.N.D.I.A., according to sources.
