Bharat Bandh today: Workers across India observed a day-long strike on Thursday, protesting government policies they describe as anti-worker and pro-corporate. The strike affected banking, insurance, postal and transport services in several states. Trade unions are demanding the scrapping of the four labour codes and the withdrawal of other proposed legislation. Farmers unions also joined the protests in various regions. The action aims to mobilise 30 crore workers as part of a nationwide general strike.
The replacement of #MGNREGA with VB-G RAM G is an important development in #employment #guarantee provisions in #India. In this interview w/ Muhammed Midhilaj (IIT Gandhinagar), welfare economist Jean Drèze (Ranchi University/Delhi School of Economics) discusses this change.

MGNREGA Demolition: Brazen Assault on Constitution
The manner of the Bill’s passage sets an utterly undemocratic precedent: that any right of the people, even when conferred in accordance with provisions of the Constitution, can be snatched by a mere voice vote in Parliament.
