Trinamool vs BJP Over Central Funds To Bengal

Trinamool Congress National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee has announced that the party will embark on a campaign to collect signatures and submit letters to the PM and Rural Development Minister to press for release of funds due to Bengal under the MGNREGA scheme that guarantees 100 days of rural employment. These letters will be collected by booth level leaders of the TMC and taken to Delhi along with beneficiaries who have not been paid their dues. Recently Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also sat on a two-day dharna in Kolkata over pending dues to Bengal. The BJP alleges funds are being withheld as the ruling-TMC is mired in corruption and hasn't been able to provide accounts of expenditure leading to funds being withheld.
