Pending NREGA funds for Bengal will be released once Centre’s ‘transparency’ concerns are addressed: Giriraj Singh
Saturday, 21 October 2023 The Rural Development Minister, Giriraj Singh, has stated that there is no shortage of funds for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA) and that pending funds for West Bengal will be released when the Centre is satisfied with the transparency of the scheme's implementation. The Centre has alleged corruption in the implementation of the scheme in West Bengal, prompting protests by the Trinamool Congress. The minister also clarified that the ministry is not facing a deficit and has sought an additional allocation of Rs 28,000 crore.
As the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha elections unfolds, attention is now focused on West Bengal, where the BJP surprised many by winning 18 seats from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the previous elections. With the 2024 polls nearing their conclusion, the question remains: who will dominate West Bengal this time? To gain insight into the potential outcomes in West Bengal on June 4th, we consulted esteemed experts such as SK Dutta, Siddhabhrata Das, and Shikha Mukherjee.
