AGARTALA, Nov 12 (TIWN): Tripura BJP Spokesperson Dr. Ashok Sinha on Monday hit Chief Minister Manik Sarkar’s allegation against Central Govt for depriving Tripura with MGNREGA funds.

Addressing a press meet, Sinha said, “During Astabol Stadium’s rally, Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said about 42 days mandays and alleged rest fund was slashed by the central govt, which is not true’.

‘The MGNREGA funds for Tripura came on 10/4/2017, 13/ 9/ 2017, 18/ 10/ 2017, 18/ 10/ 2017 10/4/17 as per the utilization certificates were provided by the state govt. Moreover, talking about mandays, MGNREGA central deprivation are debates of shame. MGNREGA is useful for poorest people and too much of demand for mandays is not a matter of pride. Demand of MGNREGA means, state is undergoing too much of poverty”.

Ashok Sinha further said, “When CM was talking about MGNREGA funds, why was he silent about the thefts done by CPI-M regime under MGNREGA ? Why CM skipped  about Bimal Chakraborty like cases ?”

“MGNREGA funds was theft highest in Tripura, than anyother state in India”, added Sinha.
