A central team's ongoing visit to West Bengal to look into alleged irregularities in the implementation of the mid-day meal scheme has triggered a political slugfest in the state.
The ruling Trinamool Congress dubbed the visit a result of “political vendetta”, while the opposition BJP accused the ruling dispensation of trying to “hide a scam”.
A 13-member central team on Monday started a review of the mid-day meal scheme in schools in West Bengal.
The joint review mission, comprising Union education ministry officials, a nutritionist, a UNICEF representative, along with PM Poshan Scheme Director V Bhaskar, also held a meeting with state education department officials.
