Mamata Banerjee Criticizes Centre Over GST and Funds
Mamata Banerjee, the leader of West Bengal, says her state is losing a lot of money because the central government isn't giving them all the money they should.
This is because they are not receiving GST compensation, costing the state about 20,000 crore rupees, with the health sector alone losing around 10,000 crore rupees.
She believes the central government is treating her state unfairly by stopping funds and not giving compensation.
She argues other states are getting the funds but not West Bengal.

The state is expected to lose nearly Rs 20,000 crore.
The health sector alone is expected to lose around Rs 10,000 crore.
Banerjee said all central funds for West Bengal have been stopped.
