Dilip Ghosh blames TMC’s ‘charity culture’ amid Bengal Annapurna Yojana beneficiaries protest
West Bengal saw protests over alleged non-payment of funds under the Annapurna Yojana, with the BJP government blaming the previous TMC government's "habit of charity". Dilip Ghosh, Panchayat and Rural Development Minister, stated that the "charity culture" from the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme has led to the current situation. The Central and state governments have launched numerous schemes, each with set criteria.
Beneficiaries must meet these conditions to receive assistance. The controversy erupted after women demanded the promised Rs 3,000 monthly aid under the Annapurna Yojana, which they claim has not been disbursed yet.
