BJP-Led NDA Should Either Release Funds Or Vacate Office: Mamata Banerjee

The Chief Minister said West Bengal's dues are pending on various accounts, including 100 days of work under MGNREGA, housing, and the state's share of GST collection.

Claiming that the Centre owed Rs 1.15 lakh crore to West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said the BJP-led NDA government should either release the funds or vacate office.

Ms Banerjee also said she has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appointment, seeking the release of the state's dues.

"Funds to the tune of Rs 1.15 lakh crore due to Bengal will be sought... We will raise the slogan that (either) give the poor people's money or leave the chair," the chief minister said, while addressing a public meeting in Alipurduar.
