Trinamul Congress National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee urged the people of West Midnapore to tie up BJP leaders who lie that Narendra Modi had released money for the Awas Plus scheme but the Trinamul Congress is holding up the funds. “Like Modi, the BJP leaders are telling lies to confuse people. After their defeat in 2021 Assembly election, the BJP-led Centre has not released even 10 paise in Awas plus scheme.
BJP from head to foot is full of lies and they speak lies only,” he said while addressing a gathering at Keshpur.

Hiran Chatterjee, also an actor, had joined Trinamul and left the party after differences cropped up. Mr Banerjee earlier held a meeting in Jhargram in support of the party’s nominee , Kalipada Soren. The Trinamul in 2019 had lost the Jhargram seat to BJP. Mr Banerjee said in Ghatal work on the Ghatal Master plan to control floods will start within six months. “Despite repeated requests the Centre did not provide funds, but we have arranged it and the state government will take up the scheme on its own. Mr Banerjee said the leaders of BJP had requested their bosses in Delhi to stop MGNREGA funds for Bengal.
The Mamata Banerjee government has paid the dues of 59 lakh job card holders. “Rest assured that once the INDIA bloc government is formed in Delhi we will get our dues of Rs 1.64 lakh crore and before 31 December 2024, the first installment of money meant for Awas Plus will be given to the beneficiaries of the scheme,” he said. He said people of the country have seen Modi’s Acche din. “The prices of essential commodities and fuel have gone up. There is mounting unemployment.
