Bhuniya urges Mannan to support TMC on issue related to Bengal

Advocating TMC demands, senior Congress leader Manas Bhuniya today urged Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly Abdul Mannan to support the state government on the issue of Centre's "step motherly attitude" towards the state.
"I have written a letter to Leader of Opposition Abdul Mannan highlighting a few points. Firstly, the BJP government led by Narendra Modi is trying to wipe out the projects that were started by the UPA government. It has stopped funding to various projects from MGNREGA to other developmental schemes. It is changing the names of the project that were named after late prime ministers from the Congress," said Bhuniya.

"This is part of BJP's agenda towards 'Congress Mukt Bharat'. We all should protest against it," he added.
Bhuniya said Congress should also unitedly fight with the TMC against the "step motherly attitude" of the BJP government at the Centre.
"The BJP government at the Centre has stopped funding for various social and development schemes. The TMC government in our state has also been complaining against it," said Bhuniya.
"We might have differences with the state government, but for the state's interest we should unitedly fight against the BJP and the RSS. The BJP and RSS are greater threats for both the nation and the state, we need to fight against it unitedly," he added.

Bhuniya shares a cold relationship with the state Congress leadership over the issue of PAC chairmanship.
