Trinamool & BJP trade barbs over fuel prices, Central dues
A war of words broke out between the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the BJP over rising prices of fuel and the Centre not clearing the state’s dues.
On Thursday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “shifting the blame” on the Opposition-ruled states for the rising prices of petrol, diesel and LPG and not clearing dues of the West Bengal government.
Banerjee claimed that the Centre was yet to clear over Rs 97,000 crore dues of the state. Countering her claim, BJP co-incharge for West Bengal and its national IT cell head Amit Malviya said that Banerjee was lying.
