"It is shocking that the Central government is ruthlessly discriminating against Bengal and its toiling tea garden workers by starving them of cash wages, while giving cash from RBI to workers in BJP-ruled state of Assam," she said in a statement.
"While both states started a similar payment model, suddenly Bengal's payments were cut off at the end of November. Our workers are starving.
"I demand that RBI restores payment by our government through our DMs immediately and continue it till March next year," she added.
