West Bengal Budget: Opp slams govt

Protesting for not calling Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar to the Budget session, BJP MLAs amidst chants of 'Jai Shri Ram' walked out of the state Assembly while Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee tabled the state Budget.

BJP central leader and West Bengal observer Arvind Menon said that the TMC government doesn’t do anything democratically. “The BJP will launch a manifesto that will showcase the works the saffron camp will undertake to build Sonar Bangla. Banerjee didn’t keep the actual budget in mind before announcing sops. Dhankhar had spoken the truth which is against the state government for which he wasn’t invited,” mentioned Menon. Ahead of the polls, the TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee had announced developmental works across the state.
