Trinamool MP Kalyan Banerjee confronted Union Minister Giriraj Singh in Lok Sabha over the alleged withholding of MGNREGA funds for West Bengal. During Question Hour, Banerjee questioned Singh’s ministerial position, asking, "Who made you a minister?" His remarks triggered objections from BJP MPs, leading to uproar in the House.
Singh defended the fund freeze, citing non-compliance, while Banerjee accused the Centre of political bias. The heated exchange disrupted proceedings, prompting Speaker Om Birla to intervene. The West Bengal government has repeatedly demanded the release of funds, claiming workers are suffering due to delays.
