KOLKATA: Even as Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking for more funds, BJP national president Amit Shah on Wednesday rolled out figures in Kolkata stating how much Centre has already allocated to Bengal. Saying that ‘central grants’ would not be able to bring development in the states if states do not cooperate, Shah said the Centre has taken a major decision to forgo the revenue earned from the auction of coal mines and the entire money would now go to the states."For the development of the eastern region, the BJP government decided to forgo the revenue earned from the auction of the mines. It has been a major decision. With this policy coming, West Bengal would get around Rs 2.85 lakh crore. Earlier, the central government used to have a share. But, now the total amount of auction money would go to the state.Meanwhile, in the 14th Finance commission too, West Bengal got the maximum increase in funds. There has been a sharp rise in allocation of funds to Bengal. In five years, the state will get Rs 1.70 lakh crore more than what it got during the tenure of UPA II. Now, the state has to design a suitable developmental project to use the money," said Shah.Meanwhile, Mamata has asked for Rs 21,000 crore from the Centre as disaster relief fund, Banerjee told the media after meeting the Prime Minister. Mamata held a press conference taking Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal by her side.Reiterating BJP’s stand on the investment scenario in Bengal, Shah slammed the state for not being able to create an investment friendly image.
