Kolkata, Sep 27 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday came down heavily on the Union Government, saying, ” Despite being the best performing state in the MGNREGA Scheme, the Centre has stopped funds out of sheer jealousy and vendetta politics. ”
” We will take over fight to Delhi, ” Banerjee said,
” No longer will the people of Bengal tolerate BJP-led Central Government’s deprivation, ” the party said.
” For more than two years, they have withheld Rs.6,907 crore of funds under the 100-day work programme. We are prepared to fight head on and ensure that our people get their rightful dues. ”
” BJP-led Central Government’s politics of vendetta must end. Their wrongful withholding of funds due to Bengal under MGNREGA and Awas Yojna has caused immense suffering and deprivation. ”
” Resolved to fight for people’s rights, we shall take their cause to the power corridors of Delhi and persist until justice is served. “
