West Bengal guv responds to Mamata's letter, asks why state wants to to act as 'intermediary' in PM-Kisan funds transfer

Firstpost  

Banerjee had written to the Centre, saying that she was ready to implement PM-Kisan and Ayushman Bharat schemes in West Bengal if the funds are routed through the state government Kolkata: War of words intensified between West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, as they continued to shoot off letters to lash out at each other over a host of issues, the latest bone of contention being the PM-Kisan scheme. The governor on Sunday sent a missive to Banerjee, seeking to know why the state wants to be an “intermediary” in the transfer of central funds to farmers under the PM-Kisan scheme, a day after the CM, in a letter, asked him to “ act within the mandates of the Constitution”. Earlier in the week, Banerjee wrote to the Centre, saying that she was ready to implement PM-Kisan and Ayushman Bharat schemes in West Bengal if the funds are routed through the state government. “National policy is ‘‘minimum government, maximum governance’’, why this approach of ‘‘maximum government, minimum governance’’?” the governor asked in the letter, which he also posted on Twitter Contending that the “recent rampant corruption with patronage to undeserving favourites in Amphan relief and PDS is fresh memory”, Dhankhar said it was “time to be transparently fair to farmers”.
