Bengal
XKolkata: Trinamool Congress’ (TMC) long-standing allegation of the Centre’s “step-motherly” approach towards Bengal seemed vindicated as the Modi government rushed Rs 1,950.80 crore to Maharashtra and Karnataka for flood relief, while calamity-hit North Bengal was left high and dry.
Calling the Centre’s approach vindictive, the ruling party in Bengal alleged that the Modi government has once again “abandoned” the people of Bengal.
In a post on X, Trinamool Congress wrote: “The vindictive @narendramodi Govt. has once again abandoned the people of Bengal in their hour of need. While North Bengal reels from catastrophic floods and landslides that have ravaged lives, homes and livelihoods, the Centre sits silent, refusing even a single rupee of relief to our state.
