Breaking: Viksit Bharat G Ram G Bill Passed, Protests Intensify as TMC, Congress Demonstrate in Parliament

Even after Parliament passed the Viksit Bharat G Ram G Bill, political unrest continues inside the Parliament complex. Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs staged a 12-hour overnight dharna, vowing to continue their protest against the legislation. At the same time, Congress MPs, holding portraits of Mahatma Gandhi, marched within the Parliament premises, alleging that the government has insulted the Father of the Nation by removing his name from the rural employment guarantee scheme. Senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi led the protest, calling the move unfortunate and unacceptable. The opposition claimed the bill undermines the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and harms the rights of rural workers. With parallel protests by TMC and Congress, the political confrontation over the bill shows no sign of easing.
