Fight between Centre and West Bengal over MGNREGA funds soars up

The West Bengal Government has announced to launch a campaign in which people will write more than one crore letters to the Prime Minister as a mark of protest against withholding MGNREGA fund share to the State.  Notably, the Centre is believed to have withheld the funds after the State Government appointed a very junior officer as Secretary to the Rural Development and accused the State Government of not adhering to MGNREGA rules.
