Abhishek Banerjee is in Delhi along with party leaders to protest against delayed payments to MGNREGA job card holders and PMAY beneficiaries in Bengal.
"They are claiming that the Centre did not release funds, which is wrong. The Modi government has released Rs 54,150 crores to Bengal, which is much higher than the Rs 14,985 crores that the UPA government had given," Union I&B Minister Anurag Thakur told media.
