West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday attacked the central government and said that the state government does not need money from the central government for the housing scheme. Actually, Mamata said these things while accusing the Central Government of discriminating against the State Government in the housing scheme. Mamta said that the Central Government has not given any amount for the rural housing scheme in the last three years. He said that the Central Government does not give 100 percent money in this scheme, but has named this scheme as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
The state government gives 40 percent of the money, yet the central government imposes various conditions on the state governments to implement this scheme. Attacking the central government, Mamta said that even the name of their housing scheme is different from that of Bengal. Taking aim at the Central Government, he said that the Center does not give the rightful money to the State Government, but definitely does politics through it.
everyone will get a permanent home
Mamta said that without the help of the Central Government, the Bengal Government has built houses for more than 50 lakh people. CM said that currently there are 36 lakh kutcha houses in Bengal, but soon everyone will have a pucca house. In December, we will send money to the accounts of 12 lakh people for building houses. We will build the remaining 24 lakh houses in 2-3 years.
money will have to be arranged
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that it will take some time to provide houses to everyone in Bengal because we will have to arrange money. We don’t have a Reserve Bank so that we can print money. Mamta said that the houses provided by the state government will not have any separate name. The government will give money only to build houses. The houses built with the money of the state government will be known only as ‘Banglar Bari’.
Praise for Lakshmi Bhandar Scheme
Praising her scheme Lakshmi Bhandar Yojana, Mamta said that five lakh seven thousand women have been included in it. Due to this, the state government will incur an additional expenditure of Rs 625 crore annually. CM said that these women will start getting money from December. He told that about 24 thousand women had applied to join this scheme.
