"A very close financial vigilance and scrutiny is needed to be maintained in the public interest, so that the State Govt can be checked in their tracks before the misuse or squander the Funds," he further mentioned.
The BJP leader in a social media post on X mentioned that he met the Finance Minister to draw her attention towards the financial meltdown in the state.
"I met Hon'ble Union Finance Minister; Smt. @nsitharaman Ji and tried to draw her attention towards the prospect of intentional diversion & misappropriation of Developmental and Welfare funds by the West Bengal Government, as a desperate attempt to delay the ensuing financial meltdown in the state.
