Mamata makes case for Central rule again

Making a case for central intervention,Mamata quoted the Home Minister that the state government had turned useless. She pointed out that the Centre lent a helping hand to the state by sending paramilitary forces but it failed to check the Maoists. Chidambaram was very right when he said the West Bengal government was useless, she said. There is no government in the state. It is doing nothing, she said and added that she would ask the Centre to come out with a white paper about the amount of funds it has given to the state and how much of it has been utilised.

Ever since the Trinamool became a partner in the UPA government it has been demanding Central intervention in West Bengal. The Centre,however,has turned it down underlining constitutional constraints.
