Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay has opposed the Centre's proposed implementation of the Viksit Bharat Guarantee scheme, alleging that the new framework would impose an additional financial burden of over Rs 5,000 crore on the state and create restrictive operational challenges.
In a letter to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, he said certain provisions of the VB G RAMG Act, 2025 require critical modifications and relaxations, without which the seamless and effective execution of this scheme on the ground would suffer significantly and will affect the rural population which is dependent on the rural employment programme".
