The party leaders are highlighting how the Centre had refused to clear dues owed to the state, now worth Rs 1.15 lakh crores. Among others, the BJP-led Centre had not cleared money meant for the workers engaged in 100 days work under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme.
