Mallikarjun Kharge took oath in Rajya Sabha after his mother had gone away in his childhood, the whole country was stunned to hear this.

News India Live, Digital Desk: The scene seen last night in the Winter Session of Parliament (Winter Session 2025) will always be remembered in the history of Indian politics. Often we see politicians shouting and screaming, but yesterday the Congress President and the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge The whole house was stunned to see (Mallikarjun Kharge) crying and wailing. The matter was so serious that to get his point across, this 83 year old leader had to swear on his mother.

What happened at midnight?
Government a new law in place of MGNREGA ‘VB-G-RAM-G’ (Developed India Guarantee for Employment) Was getting it passed. The debate was going on, it was 12 o’clock at night, but the opposition was strongly against this bill. Meanwhile, when Kharge Saheb stood up to speak, he choked.

He said in a trembling voice, “I swear by my mother, I swear by Mother India… This bill is against the poor. I lost my mother in my very childhood… I know the pain. Don’t commit this sin.”

Imagine, when such an experienced and elderly leader swears by his dead mother and requests the government, then how serious the matter will be. The tears in his eyes and the swear on his tongue—this shook everyone present there.

Why is Kharge angry and sad?
This was not just sentimentality, behind it was the question of livelihood of the poor. Kharge Saheb and the opposition are opposing this new ‘Ji-Ram Ji’ bill for three reasons:

1. Insult of Bapu: ‘Mahatma Gandhi’ was added to the old name (MNREGA), but Gandhiji has been removed from the new name (VB-G-RAM-G). Kharge says that the government is doing politics by using the name of Lord Ram (G-RAM) and is forgetting Bapu.
2. Work guarantee ended? The opposition alleges that under the old law there was a legal right to demand work throughout the year. In the new bill the government ‘Seasonal Pause’ It means that MNREGA work will remain closed during the farming season (like harvesting). Kharge said, will the poor man eat?
3. Burden on States: In this bill, the Central Government has also passed the expenditure on the states. Kharge said that poor states already do not have money, how will they pay the workers?

“Write it down, you will have to apologize.”
In his speech, Kharge gave a big warning to the government. Reminding the Modi government of the old days, he said, “Keep my words in writing, just as you had to withdraw three black farm laws, similarly one day you will have to withdraw this law too. Today you are getting it passed on the strength of power, but the plight of the poor will not let you down.”

Is this fight only in name?
The government argues that the working days in the new bill increased from 100 to 125 Have been done and the system will be transparent. But Kharge’s fear is that with the removal of this “guarantee”, the rights of the workers will become dependent on the ‘mercy’ of the officials.

The bill was passed late in the night, but Kharge’s cry of “Maa Kasam” and tears are now touching everyone’s heart on social media. People are asking, is it necessary to erase Gandhiji’s name and tamper with the rights of the poor for ‘development’?
