BJP MP seeks cash transfer to Bengal tea workers

A BJP MP named Manoj Tigga wants the central government to give money directly to tea workers in Bengal.

The government had set aside over ₹300 crore to help these workers, but the state government hasn't used the money.

The MP says the money should go straight to the workers' bank accounts.

The central government had planned to spend ₹1,000 crore in total, with part of it for Bengal and the rest for Assam.

The state government says they have supported the workers, but the MP disagrees.

The BJP is collecting information about the workers to prepare for the direct transfer if the proposal is approved.
