Trinamool Congress (TMC) will resume their protest over alleged non-disbursement of dues of various Central schemes including MGNREGA to West Bengal if the State government does not get an appropriate response from the Central government by the end of this month, senior party leader Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee has said."
Since we have waited for two years, we can wait for a few more days. If we do not get an appropriate response by October 31, Trinamool Congress will organise a larger movement from November 1. This time, Mamata Banerjee will lead the movement," Mr. Banerjee said on Friday. On October 3 and 4, the Trinamool Congress staged a protest in Delhi's Jantar Mantar demanding the release of funds by the Centre.
The protest saw participation from around 4,000 MGNREGA cardholders who were brought to Delhi by the party on buses from West Bengal. The party also staged a march to the Raj Bhavan in Kolkata to protest against the Centre over MGNREGA dues. The protest ended after West Bengal Governor C. V. Ananda Bose assured a Trinamool Congress delegation that he would take up the issue."
