Centre confirms zero 100-day work funds for Bengal in Lok Sabha

• Central government confirmed in Lok Sabha that Bengal received zero allocation for the 100 days' work scheme.
• Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee questioned the central government regarding pending dues for the 100 days' work scheme.
• While other states received funds, Bengal's share was explicitly missing from the state-wise list provided by the Ministry of Rural Development.
• Bengal is excluded from the 2025-26 budget and recent allocations for the 100 days' work scheme, unlike other states.
• The Trinamool Congress views this exclusion as central deprivation and a political issue.

Why It Matters: Bengal's zero allocation for 100 days' work fuels political conflict.
