BJP, TMC in war of words over MGNREGA dues

KOLKATA: Trinamool Congress and BJP were involved in a slugfest over MGNREGA dues to West Bengal on Wednesday, two days after TMC general secretary Abhisek Banerjee along with party leaders and job card holders met the governor and the party withdrew the sit-in near the Raj Bhavan. BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar, who had in the past blamed TMC leaders of siphoning Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) funds, in a post on ‘X’ accused the party of not coming up with “proper expenditure reports” while insisting on the release of funds.
