“From MGNREGA, Banglar Bari, to Grameen Sadak Yojana, they (Centre) have stopped all our funds. Centre collects tax from us and in return gives us a meagre amount and shows as if they are doing a lot. We are the ones who provide piped water supply to all the households (across the State) We give lands, do the maintenance, and give 75% (share in schemes). They only give 25 per cent and claim that the BJP gives water to every household. They do not. They are making false claims.”
