Around 25 buses carrying Trinamool Congress volunteers set out from Kolkata on Saturday for the October 3 Delhi protest against the alleged withholding of funds by the Centre. It is expected that around 4,000 people from Bengal will gather at Jantar Mantar to protest non-payment of the MGNREGA dues.

Meanwhile, blaming the Centre’s freeze on PMAY funds for the death of three tribal children and an elderly woman in incidents of house collapse in West Bengal’s Bankura district, Trinamool Congress has taken the victims’ families to New Delhi to take part in the protest.

The BJP claimed the families were being taken to the national capital forcibly. “They tried their best to take them to Delhi forcibly. It’s part of their cheap politics,” said Leader of Opposition in Assembly Suvendu Adhikari.
