Union Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will guide BJP and JD(S) leaders in Karnataka on the Centre’s new job guarantee scheme. His orientation aims to prepare opposition members to counter Congress criticism of the VB-G RAM G Act, ahead of the legislature session in Bengaluru.
Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is set to arrive in Bengaluru to conduct an orientation session for BJP and JD(S) legislators, MPs, and senior leaders. The session will focus on the Centre’s newly introduced job guarantee scheme, officially known as the VB-G RAM G Act. The Congress government has launched a campaign against the scheme, prompting the BJP state unit to seek Chouhan’s expertise in defending and promoting its benefits.
Chouhan has been spearheading awareness drives across the country, highlighting the scheme’s potential to provide employment opportunities and strengthen rural development. His coaching session is expected to equip opposition leaders with strategies to counter criticism during the upcoming legislature debate. The BJP state unit also plans to launch a statewide campaign in support of the scheme later this month.
