Amit Shah promises Rs 20,000 crore fund to build new colleges in West Bengal

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on March 25 said that if BJP comes into power in West Bengal, it will build more colleges in the state.

Rs 20,000 crore Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar Fund to build more colleges in the state.

"Once considered as knowledge capital, what is the situation of Bengal today?
