Kolkata: Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari posting a video of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's recent rally in Bankura alleged that Mamata ‘misused’ her administration and brought school students in a political meeting.

“WB CM has become so morally bankrupt that she's misusing her Administration to ensure attendance of School Students in events where she spews venom against the Central Govt & Opposition Parties. @NCPCR_ & @EduMinOfIndia must take note how @MamataOfficial is poisoning young minds,” slammed Adhikari.

It may be noted that in the video the West Bengal Chief Minister was heard speaking about how the BJP led central government is not giving state its dues and also how amidst odds the West Bengal government is running the developmental schemes including PM Awas Yojana.

It may be recalled that on Sunday the Leader of the Opposition taking to social media alleged that Rs. 78 lakh was spent by Bankura district administration to hire buses to bring in ‘students and poor beneficiaries’ in the public meeting of Mamata Banerjee at Bankura on Friday.

₹78 lakh for 700 buses

“Rs 78 lakh has been paid to hire 700 buses for transporting students and poor beneficiaries to attend CM Mamata Banerjee’s so-called Administrative Meeting at Bankura on 17th Feb. Why’re students being forced to listen to political speeches at the expense of the public exchequer?” mentioned one of the tweets of Adhikari.

Meanwhile, slamming the West Bengal Chief Minister, Union Minister of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Department Giriraj singh said that the TMC government should come out clear.

“Almost all the central government schemes’ names have been changed by the Bengal government. Moreover there is corruption in the 100 days work scheme and also in PM Awas Yojana. The state government should come out clear first,” said Singh.
