West Medinipur (West Bengal) [India], August 27 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party leader Dilip Ghosh on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government, terming it “the most corrupt” in the country.
Ghosh was responding to West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s allegations, saying her government’s ministers and MLAs are in jail and implying they are involved in corrupt activities.
Ghosh claimed that there are over 1 crore fake voters in West Bengal, which he believes will be removed once the Special Investigation and Registration (SIR) process begins. He accuses the TMC of trying to create a voter base through these fake registrations.
“Ministers and MLAs of Mamata Banerjee’s government are in jail. Everyone knows who the thieves are. After SIR starts here, the more than 1 crore fake voters here will also be weeded out, so their (TMC) government won’t be formed here either. They are scared of this, that’s why they are making such senseless statements. The most corrupt government in the country is in West Bengal,” Dilip Ghosh told ANI.
Earlier on Tuesday, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had accused the Central Government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of withholding funds for crucial welfare schemes in the state. She further alleged that PM Modi insulted the West Bengal people.
She alleged that the Central government had failed to release funds for key schemes, including the 100-day MGNREGA work program, Nirmal Jal Yojana, and the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Despite this, Mamata Banerjee asserted that the state government has continued all these projects using its own funds.
“The central government has withheld funds for 100 days, stopped funding for the NAL Jal scheme, and is not providing money for the housing scheme, yet the state government has continued all projects using its own funds. I respect the Prime Minister’s chair, and he should show the same respect. Why did he say that funds were stopped because everyone in Bengal is a thief? If that is the logic, then what about Uttar Pradesh, which is facing the highest level of corruption? What about Maharashtra and Bihar, both ruled by the so-called “double engine” government? Shouldn’t he look at them first before pointing fingers at Bengal?” she said. (ANI)
