According to a UNI news report, the Congress party launched a nationwide agitation called 'MGNREGA Bachao Sangram' on 13 January 2026, opposing the Centre's reported decision to replace the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) with a new scheme called the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (VB-G RAM G). Congress general secretary K C Venugopal inaugurated the agitation. A separate headline references a Congress-led protest march in Chennai on this issue, but the available source material does not corroborate details of that specific event.

How a story is checked before it appears
01Sources are gathered
Permitted feeds and public records are checked without turning raw detections into public claims.
02Connections are tested
Repeated reports are traced back to their source chain before they are treated as corroboration.
03Accounts stay distinct
People, witnesses, civil-society groups and institutions remain attributable in the record.
04The record must earn publication
Only claims that clear Rise’s evidence, identity, legal and imagery rules can become public. Unclear cases stop for the owner.
05History is preserved
Corrections create a new revision while the earlier public record remains available in history.
Gathering is automatic. Publication is conditional — ambiguity stops at the editor’s desk.
Across India
These struggles did not happen in one place. They rose in the capital and in the mountains, on a factory floor and at a state border.
Drawn from India’s official boundary data. Every marker is a record; nothing is decorative.
A judge likened jobless young people to cockroaches. A leaked medical exam sent two million students back to their desks. Weeks later they were still camped at Jantar Mantar — and the government was finally listening.
A protest, a source, another side of a story, a correction — point us to it, privately. Nothing you send is published as submitted, and your identity is never shown publicly.
