On 2-4 August 2022, labourers working under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) from all over the country gathered at Jantar-Mantar, New Delhi with the grouse that the central government has been indifferent to the scheme. They also demanded work and payment of their overdue wages. During the three-day protest, representatives of many political parties, including CPI General Secretary D. Raja, spoke in support of the demands of the labourers.
