Today in Gaya, Congress party workers held a strong protest outside the Collectorate. They were opposing the recent changes made to the MGNREGA scheme by the Central Government. The protest was part of a larger campaign called ‘MNREGA Bachao Sangram Andolan’ organized by the All India Congress Committee and Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee.
During the protest, Congress leaders, including Vijay Kumar Mitthu and former MLA Mohammad Khan Ali, criticized the Modi government.

The ‘MNREGA Bachao Sangram’ movement is set to last for 45 days and will take place across the country. Congress leaders announced that they will spread the message from Rahul Gandhi and National President Mallikarjun Kharge to every household in Gaya district, covering all 24 blocks and 332 gram panchayats. Their goal is to restore MNREGA to its original form.

They chanted slogans demanding respect for the Father of the Nation and the right to work, showing strong solidarity in their cause.
The protest saw participation from hundreds of Congress workers and leaders. They included notable figures like Dr. Devika Sayar Mishra and Yugal Kishore Singh. The leaders emphasized that their struggle will continue until the changes to MNREGA are rolled back.
