West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today criticised the central government for its reported move to dilute provisions of the rural work guarantee programme MGNREGA and threatened to launch a movement
against it.
"I reiterate to fight against the Centre's decision to restrict the scope of 100 days' work programme, which will bring disaster to the poor people of the country," Banerjee told a public meeting after inaugurating 25 state government welfare projects.
"My heart cries out if the 100 day's work is curtailed. If Bengal cries, then Delhi will cry," she said.
