After its success on the issue of the land acquisition bill, the Congress is launching a national campaign to protect the Forest Rights Act, 2006, which it alleges is being diluted by Narendra Modi Government.

Party vice-president Rahul Gandhi has also convened a meeting of the PCC chiefs here on February five on the issue of MGNREGA to review its implementation under the Modi dispensation amid complaints that proper attention was not being paid to it.
