TMC demands white paper on central fund release
The Statesman Siliguri
|December 06, 2025
Trinamul Congress MP and the party’s national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee today challenged the Centre to publish a white paper detailing every rupee allocated to Bengal since 2021.
Trinamul Congress MPs today protested at Parliament House demanding release of the dues to the Bengal government.
Taking to the X platform, Mr Banerjee wrote: “If the Modi government truly drove Bengal’s development as he theatrically claims then let them accept @abhishekaitc’s challenge. Release white paper detailing every allocated to Bengal since their humiliating 2021 defeat.”
Mrs Nimala Sitharaman said in Parliament yesterday that funds under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) cannot be released because of lack of transparency.
Trinamul Congress alleged that the Centre has not cleared Bengal’s dues worth Rs 1,96,277.43 crore to the Bengal government.
