The Chief Minister of Bengal got angry on giving additional DA.
The state of West Bengal always remains in headlines for one thing or the other. Sometimes incidents of vandalism come to the fore in the state of Bengal, and sometimes there are protests. In this episode, a case of protest has come to the fore. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee hit out at the opposition-backed protests over the issue of dearness allowance, saying the state does not have the funds to pay more to its employees. The opposition BJP, Congress and the Left in the state have been demanding dearness allowance or DA at par with central government employees.
During the discussion in the budget session of the state assembly, Mamta Banerjee said that it will not be possible for our government to give more DA. We don’t have that much money left. We have given additional 3 per cent DA. If you’re not happy with it, you can chop off my head. Also how many more do you need.
what is the matter
West Bengal Finance Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya presented the budget in the assembly on February 15. In this budget, the Finance Minister had announced that the government would give 3 percent additional DA to its employees, including teachers and pensioners, from the month of March.
Till now the state was giving 3 per cent DA to the employees as basic pay. But after the announcement of the budget, in addition to this basic salary, the state government will pay 3 percent additional DA to the employees of the state.
Mamta Banerjee targeted the opposition
During this, Mamta Banerjee has also targeted the opposition fiercely that the pension of retired employees has been stopped in BJP ruled states like UP, Tripura but this pension is running in the state of Bengal. Also said that you cannot compare the DA given by the state with the central government.
