Jhargram (West Bengal): Launching a tirade against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Union government, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday, November 15, said that if the Union government does not clear the state’s dues, it may have to stop paying goods and services tax (GST).Addressing a rally in tribal-dominated Jhargram district, she said the Union government must either clear states’ dues or step down from power.Banerjee alleged that the Union government was not releasing MGNREGA funds and called upon tribals to hit the streets to protest it.“Do we have to beg before the Centre to get our financial dues cleared? They are not releasing MGNREGA funds. The BJP government has to step down from power if it does not clear our dues,” the chief minister said.(PTI)
