Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday over pending dues to the state. The meeting between the Chief Minister and the Prime Minister comes amid a huge tussle over alleged withholding of central funds to Bengal.Addressing the media ahead of her departure to New Delhi on Sunday, Ms Banerjee accused the Centre of stopping all funds for Bengal", including the one for housing programme Banglar Bari.
"They have stopped the rural roads programme. Even though it is a Central government scheme, the entire cost is not borne by the Centre. It is done jointly by the state and centre. Whatever money they collect from here, we have a share, as there is only one tax, which is the GST," Mamata Banerjee added.The Centre, she said, has stopped the health department funds.
"They say we have to paint everything saffron. They have painted all the metro stations saffron. Near Sukna they have painted all the buildings saffron. They are telling us every health centre has to be painted saffron. Why should we paint it saffron? We have a state brand which is white and blue, and it is not the party colour," Mamata Banerjee said.
