Parliament winter session Live updates: Priyanka Gandhi, Shashi Tharoor lead charge against G-RAM-G bill
PArliament overwinter session unrecorded updates: The parliament is in its net leg of the overwinter session, with a snow flurry of bills coming up in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The government introduced the Viksit Bharat– Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin), also known as VB–G RAM G bill, in the Lok Sabha to replace the UPA-era MGNREGA scheme.The bill was scheduled to be introduced on Monday, but was instead tabled on Tuesday by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra opposed the bill on Tuesday on several points, including the reduction of the Centre's share compared to MGNREGA.Earlier, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticised the government's move to reframe the MGNREGA scheme and stated that the Congress would oppose it."This is not just about renaming the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. This is a BJP-RSS conspiracy to end MGNREGA. Erasing Gandhi's name on the centenary of the Sangh shows how hollow and hypocritical those are who, like Modi ji, offer flowers to Bapu on foreign soil," Kharge said.Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also introduced The Sabka Bima Sabki Raksha (Amendment of Insurance Laws) Bill, 2025 in Lok Sabha, a proposed legislation aimed at further amending major insurance-related laws to strengthen India's insurance framework.The bill proposes amendments to three major legislations governing the insurance sector: the Insurance Act, 1938, the Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956, and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999.The 6th Session of the 18th Lok Sabha and the 269th Session of the Rajya Sabha commenced on December 1, marking the beginning of the Winter Session of Parliament. The session will conclude on December 19.
