central minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti (Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti) on Saturday said that the Center has never deprived West Bengal of MNREGA dues and the figures of the last nine years prove this. The Minister of State for Rural Development alleged in the press conference that there are discrepancies in the utilization of Mahatma Gandhi Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) scheme funds in the districts of West Bengal. It is noteworthy that the Union Minister of State for Rural Development has come to Kolkata. He says that he has offered to sit and talk with Trinamool. The minister said that I have brought all the information. I can hold meetings and talk anywhere in Calcutta. If necessary, a meeting can also be organized in the State Panchayat office.
The minister has rejected all the allegations of Trinamool
The minister rejected Trinamool Congress’s allegations that he refused to meet a delegation of West Bengal’s ruling party in New Delhi to discuss MNREGA dues. Jyoti said, I wanted to meet him and waited for him for about two and a half hours. But he remained adamant about the number of members of his delegation. She claimed that Trinamool is now making false allegations that I ran away through the back door. TMC is spreading lies.
Trinamool just wanted to do drama: Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti
The Union Minister said that he did not want to meet me, he just wanted to do drama. The Union Minister expressed willingness to hold talks with the TMC delegation at any time, but questioned the intentions of the ruling party of West Bengal on this issue. Earlier, TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee along with party MLAs, MPs and ministers as well as MNREGA workers had protested at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi and marched to the Rural Development Ministry at Krishi Bhawan, where he was expected to meet Jyoti. It was a programme. However, after about one and a half hour, TMC leaders claimed that the minister refused to meet them, saying that the number of members in the delegation should be kept at five.
