Mamata Govt begins disbursing housing funds after Central rebuff
The Business Guardian
|December 19, 2024
Even as the Trinamool Congress MPs clashed with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Parliament over the Centre's refusal to release funds under the PM Awas Yojana and MGNREGA, the Mamata Banerjee Government has quietly started disbursing housing funds to voters in Bengal.
The State started transferring funds to the beneficiaries' bank accounts on Tuesday and officials said it could take about a week to send the amounts to all the 12 lakh families identified as eligible.
Sources said the ruling establishment in Bengal was all set to use the disbursal as a weapon to counter the BJP ahead of the 2026 Assembly polls.
