Bank unions conspired to delay salary of govt staff: Mamata

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday alleged that a section of bank unions has hatched a “conspiracy” to discredit the government by delaying salary payment of employees,and asked Finance minister to probe it.

The Chief Minister blamed certain nationalised banks for creating complications in making payments even after pay cheques were timely cleared by the state government through electronic clearance system.

Banerjee said she was of the view that some bank unions hatched a conspiracy to discredit the state government and said “these people never followed any work culture in last 35 years (during Left rule) and indulged only in misleading the employees”.
