West Bengal: Ration scam should be probed by central agencies like CBI, says Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury
Sunday, 26 November 2023 Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury alleges "fake" ration shops and mid-day-meal scams in West Bengal, calling for a CBI probe. He highlights the plight of tea garden workers who lack basic government welfare facilities such as food, housing, and medicines. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman discusses these issues with ministries and the Tea Board of India (TBI) in Siliguri. The workers earn a meager daily wage of Rs 250, while their counterparts in South India earn Rs 500-600.
Recent bypolls across seven Indian states resulted in significant gains for the opposition INDIA bloc, which won 10 out of 13 assembly seats. The Congress party secured victories in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, while the Trinamool Congress swept all four seats in West Bengal. The BJP won two seats, including one in Madhya Pradesh. These results are seen as a boost for the opposition and may indicate shifting political dynamics ahead of future elections.
