JOIN USUnion Minister Jairam Ramesh, on Saturday, went all out and attacked West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee questioning her claim that the Centre was not providing funds to her government and said she was “not a good administrator”.
“Mamataji is a good political leader but she is not a good administrator. She claims that the Centre has not given any financial assistance to West Bengal but it not true,” Ramesh, Union Minister for Rural Development, told a Congress meeting. “Infact, Rs 13,000 crore was given in the last one year only for the Prime Minister Gram Sadak Yojana and another Rs 2,700 crore for building 5,500 km of road for rural development,” he said. He said the central assistance given for development of indigenous people were not properly used either by the former left front government or by the TMC government in the past one and half years of its rule. “This has made the people to seek change again...The people will vote for Congress both in coming panchayat polls and in 2016 assembly polls,” he claimed.
