Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee says Centre was delaying the transfer
The farmers in West Bengal on Friday got the benefits of PM Samman Kisan Nidhi even as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused of the Centre of delaying the transfer. About 7 lakh farmers in the State got benefits of the Central scheme where ₹2,000 were transferred to their bank accounts. During the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the eighth instalment of over ₹20,000 crore to more than 9.5 crore farmer beneficiaries under the scheme. The PM Kisan Samman Nidhi has been a matter of confrontation between the Centre and the West Bengal government for almost three years. The non-implementation of the scheme has dominated the discourse during the recently concluded State Assembly election. Mr. Modi in his election speeches had claimed that ₹18,000 will be transferred to the bank accounts of 70 lakh farmers from the first Cabinet meeting of the BJP government.
