MGNREGA Fund Impasse Big Worry for CM Mamata, Offers to Follow Norms -Rabindra Nath Sinha

The brake on the release of funds by the Centre, which has found blatant and persistent violation of norms by Nabanna, has queered Mamata Banerjee's pitch.

Kolkata: It’s a tough call suddenly for Trinamool Congress chief and West Bengal’s chief minister Mamata Banerjee; TMC’s very comfortable majority in the Assembly notwithstanding. Mamata finds herself in an awkward situation after the arrest of two of her trusted aides – Partha Chatterjee and  Anubrata Mondol – and the seizure of crores in cash and costly jewellery from several premises linked to Chatterjee and his aide – a lady. These incidents have provided space for the Opposition to regroup and hold well-attended protests to fortify their persistent charge that the TMC regime has become a byword for corruption and Mamata has chosen to remain a spectator.

In her confrontation with the Centre over the brake applied by it on the release of funds for schemes crucial for her rural vote bank, she has already staged a retreat. A mellowed chief minister is now assuring the Centre that all its guidelines will be followed. 

The fast-paced developments over the past three weeks have happened when she was seriously considering advancing the panchayat elections, normally due in mid-2023, by some three months to February. After getting signals from Nabanna, the State Election Commission (SEC) has begun work on the delimitation of constituencies – the exercise that for rural polls has to be undertaken every 10 years. Compliance with all prescribed procedures will enable SEC to go through the exercise in February.

Banerjee’s calculation seems to be to see that she has enough time at her disposal to plan and campaign for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, in which she wants TMC to emerge as a significant factor. Although the February schedule for panchayat polls gives her six months, the intervening, rather longish festive season, shortens the duration for political activity in West Bengal.
