In a bid to address the plight of MGNREGS workers in West Bengal, Rahul Gandhi writes to Prime Minister Modi urging the release of pending funds. Gandhi's letter comes amidst Mamata Banerjee's protests against the Centre for withholding the funds. Banerjee, announcing the state's plan to pay pending wages to 21 lakh workers, has been vocal about the issue, even leading a delegation to meet PM Modi previously. Despite recent tensions between Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and the Congress party, Gandhi reaffirms Banerjee's membership in the INDIA alliance, stressing unity ahead of the upcoming elections.
