Kolkata: Protesting against the Centre’s decision to stop funding the 100-day work scheme, West Bengal’s Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, announced that she will lead a demonstration on March 29-30 in front of the Ambedkar statue. She expressed her displeasure with the central government’s “dictatorship” and also mentioned that Bengal did not receive any funding in the budget.

In her statement, she referred to the Centre’s decision to stop funding the 100-day work scheme as “dictatorship” and vowed to continue protesting against such actions.
