Rekha Patra, BJP candidate from Sandeshkhali, enjoys benefits of State scheme: Trinamool

The Trinamool Congress got embroiled in a controversy on March 28 after it published the personal banking and contact details of the BJP‘s Sandeshkhali candidate Rekha Patra on its official X handle, claiming that she is a beneficiary of the West Bengal’s government Swastha Sathi scheme.

“Caught red-handed! @BJP4India’s MP candidate from Basirhat, Rekha Patra, plays the ultimate game of hypocrisy, enjoying the benefits of Smt. @MamataOfficial ‘s schemes while aligning herself with Delhi’s JOMIDARS (landlords),” the TMC posted on X.

The State’s ruling party posted the phone number of the 30-year-old BJP candidate as well as her bank account details and names of her family members. “PM @narendramodi, the next time you call her, don’t forget to inquire about her Swasthya Sathi card. It might help you understand how our leader’s brainchild, Swasthya Sathi, surpasses the failed Ayushman Bharat scheme,” the TMC said.
