Shadow Corresopndent
Rajouri, Jan, 17
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Rajouri, today organised a comprehensive workshop on the Viksit Bharat G RAM G (VB-G RAM G) Bill 2025 under the VB-G RAM G Jan Jagaran Abhiyan at the BJP Headquarters, Rajouri. Hon’ble Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), Shri Er. Ghulam Ali Khatana, remained the main speaker on the occasion.
Addressing party leaders and workers, MP Ghulam Ali Khatana launched a scathing attack on the Congress, stating that “Congress has a long history of befooling the people in the name of Gandhi while delivering nothing but corruption, confusion and hollow slogans on the ground.” He said that the VB-G RAM G Bill 2025 is a decisive, visionary and historic reform aimed at ending long-standing irregularities in rural employment schemes and ensuring transparent, accountable and need-based benefits for the poorest sections of society.
He asserted, “VB-G RAM G is not merely a change in nomenclature; it is a comprehensive structural correction. It plugs loopholes, strengthens verification mechanisms, enforces robust social audits and ensures that public money reaches the genuine poor instead of middlemen and fake beneficiaries.”
Explaining the purpose of the workshop, Shri Khatana said that BJP Rajouri has organised this programme to equip party teams who will fan out across districts, blocks and villages to generate mass awareness. He noted that while MGNREGA was launched with good intentions, it gradually became riddled with weak monitoring, lack of proper verification, misuse of funds and political patronage, thereby failing to deliver its intended benefits to the most deprived sections.
Criticising the Congress for indulging in petty politics over the scheme’s name, the MP said, “Instead of engaging in a constructive debate on reforms, Congress prefers emotional politics. VB-G RAM G exposes their failures and empowers rural India with dignity, transparency and sustainable livelihoods.”
BJP District President, Rajouri, Shri Dev Raj Sharma, in his impactful address, described VB-G RAM G as one of the dream and mission-mode initiatives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to transform rural India.
He said, “Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi, governance has moved from symbolic welfare to permanent empowerment. VB-G RAM G will strengthen rural infrastructure, support farmers, create productive employment and ensure sustainable livelihoods, particularly in remote and border districts like Rajouri.” He further emphasized that BJP Rajouri is fully committed to taking the message of VB-G RAM G to the grassroots, ensuring that every village understands how the Modi Government is building a self-reliant and developed rural India.
BJP State Secretary, Shri Dinesh Sharma, stated that VB-G RAM G reflects the spirit of Viksit Bharat @2047, where villages will be central to national growth. He said the Bill ensures effective utilization of public funds, convergence of central schemes and long-term asset creation, making rural communities economically strong and self-reliant.
The workshop was attended by BJP State Secretary Shri Dinesh Sharma, District General Secretary Shri Sanjay Sharma, Seh Prabhari ST Morcha J&K Shri Rajinder Gupta, Co-Convenor Refugee Cell J&K Shri Subash Sharma, Ex-Chairperson Rajouri Municipal Council Shri Arif Jatt, Shri Yogesh Sharma, Shri Koushal Sharma, Convenor of VB G RAM G Jasbir Singh, Co Convenors of VB G RAM G Karan Saryal & Mohd Zahid, Samreen Khan, BJYM State Spokerperson Adv. Amit Sharma and other senior BJP leaders and party workers. The programme concluded with a resolve to intensify mass outreach under the VB-G RAM G Jan Jagaran Abhiyan, reaffirming BJP’s unwavering commitment to Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and the larger goal of a Viksit Bharat.
