Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a scathing attack on Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government, saying that the money which is being sent by the Centre for welfare schemes is being spent on the TMC cadre.

Earlier today, the Prime Minister inaugurated Rs 5,200-crore worth infrastructure projects, including three crucial metro stretches— Sealdah to Esplanade (Green Line, 2.6 km), Noapara to Jai Hind Bimanbandar (Yellow Line, 6.77 km), and Hemanta Mukhopadhyay to Beleghata (Orange Line, 4.39 km) — marking a landmark infrastructure push for the city.

This marks the first time in 41 years that the city’s metro services will directly connect the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport with the rest of the city.

He also laid the foundation of the 7.2-km elevated Kona Expressway worth over Rs 1,200 crore, which is expected to enhance connectivity between Howrah and Kolkata.
