Mamata Banerjee opposes MGNREGA norms

Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, is very upset with the central government.

They made new rules for a job scheme called MGNREGA, which gives people 100 days of work.

She thinks these rules are not fair and tore a copy of the rules in protest.

She also said that the central government owes West Bengal a lot of money for this scheme.

If her party wins the next elections, she plans to start a similar job scheme run by the state instead.

She also asked her party leaders to work together and help people with their voter list problems.

She said that the central government is using funds as a weapon against Bengal and is throttling rural welfare programs out of jealousy and hatred.

She also highlighted reforms under the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme, which provides old-age pensions.

Additionally, the Opposition in the Lok Sabha debated election reforms, questioning the impartiality of the Election Commission and alleging that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is intended to delete electors rather than authenticate them.

They also expressed doubts about the use of EVMs and called for greater transparency in the electoral process.
