Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee addressed the media today, questioning why women enrolled under the Annapurna scheme have not yet received the allocated money. She alleged that the BJP-led central government has not acted on the disbursement, leaving many beneficiaries in limbo.
The CM said the delay hampers the scheme’s objectives of empowering women through financial support. She urged the central authorities to speed up the process and highlighted that the lack of funds undermines the entire welfare initiative.
Mamata also used the platform to criticize the BJP for its inaction on welfare matters. She called on the opposition to step in and ensure that the scheme’s benefits reach the intended recipients without further delay.
The statement was met with calls for transparency from the opposition and a demand for a clear timeline from the central government. No official response has been issued yet.
