Trinamool Leaders Swindled All Central Aid For Bengal: Yogi Adityanath

West Bengal Assembly Election 2021: Addressing an election rally at the Mal assembly constituency in the Jalpaiguri district, the senior BJP leader also said his Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee has deprived the state of the Centre's development schemes.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday flayed the ruling TMC in West Bengal, alleging that its leaders swindled whatever central aid was extended to the state, from "funds to ration supplies". Addressing an election rally at the Mal assembly constituency in the Jalpaiguri district, the senior BJP leader also said his Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee has deprived the state of the Centre's development schemes. She has neglected West Bengal for the last 10 years and by not being a part of several central welfare schemes, Mamata Banerjee has denied the state its share of benefits. "Whatever assistance the Centre provided to Bengal, from funds to ration supplies, was swindled by TMC leaders. After the BJP comes to power in the state, each paisa will be recovered and spent on development works," he asserted.
