JP Nadda to launch BJP Rath Yatra in Bengal

Mamata Didi has done injustice to the farmers here. She in her stubbornness, ego & pride, did not roll out PM's Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana in West Bengal. This has kept over 70 lakh farmers deprived of its benefit. When around 25 lakh people urged to the Centre, then Mamata ji said I'll also implement Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Mamata ji, elections are around the corner, what's the point repenting when the damage has already been done?: BJP President JP Nadda in Malda, West Bengal
