KOLKATA: The forthcoming session of the West Bengal Assembly promises an intense confrontation as the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) prepares to challenge the central government regarding pending financial dues.
In an effort to address the crucial matter of unpaid dues owed to the state by the union government, TMC will introduce a motion during the assembly meeting, according to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Sovandeb Chattopadhyay.
Anticipating the impending motion, the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has vowed to resist it vehemently within the assembly walls.
Claiming an economic blockade by the Centre against West Bengal, Chattopadhyay stated, "The Union government has withheld funds for several central schemes, including MGNREGA. We shall thoroughly debate this issue on the House floor."
Accusations of Vendetta Politics: Allegations have arisen from the West Bengal government, pointing fingers at the central government for deliberately blocking funds as an act of vendetta politics, as stated by a senior minister. Responding to these accusations, BJP's chief whip, Manoj Tigga, declared the party's firm stance against the motion.
As the political drama unfolds in the West Bengal Assembly, tensions are bound to rise, and the debates will determine the course of action regarding the withheld dues issue.
