West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on December 20 to discuss the release of financial dues owed to the state.
The Prime Minister’s Office has granted the Chief Minister’s request for an appointment with Modi. The meeting is set to take place around 11 am on December 20.
Earlier this week, Mamata Banerjee asserted that the Centre owes Rs 1.15 lakh crore to West Bengal, covering various accounts, including funds related to 100 days of work under MGNREGA.
“The Centre owes the state over Rs 1.1 lakh crore. Just imagine the kind of development we could have achieved if they had released the funds. Despite the Centre halting the release of funds, we continued to support several centrally sponsored schemes. It’s crucial that they settle these dues promptly, or else there may be a need for a change in government,” Mamata said at a rally in Alipurduar.
