Centre Turns on West Bengal Funds Tap After Suvendu Adhikari’s Delhi Visit The Centre's sudden largesse towards West Bengal, announced after Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari's meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi, has sent shockwaves through the state's politics.
The release of ₹39,000 crore for central schemes is being touted as a major boost to the Mamata Banerjee led Trinamool Congress government's development plans.
The Centre's decision to revive stalled projects and allocate funds for welfare initiatives comes at a time when Adhikari's government is facing criticism over its handling of the state's economy.
