Protests erupt outside Kasba Police station as 3 arrested in alleged Kolkata college gang rape
In a fervent address during her district tour, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a scathing critique against the central government in Purulia. Expressing dissatisfaction, Mamata asserted, "We engage in development, but the BJP only makes promises during elections and attempts to claim credit for our developmental works, a practice that needs to be avoided."
She emphasized the need for sincerity in governance and urged against political maneuvers that could undermine the collaborative efforts for progress. Furthermore, Mamata Banerjee highlighted the adoption of Bengal's Lakshmi Bhandar Scheme by other states, cautioning that they may struggle to sustain it consistently.
Emphasizing Bengal's need for autonomy, Mamata declared, "Bengal needs rights, not alms." The Chief Minister's comments reflect an ongoing political discourse on the role of the central government in Bengal's development and the assertion of state autonomy in policy implementation.
