With less than six months left for the state election, the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal on Tuesday launched a massive outreach programme to ensure its existing flagship welfare programmes reach every household.
Christened 'Duare Sarkar" (government at the doorstep) the programme will cover 11 sectors including job generation, health, women empowerment, community development and education of girls among others.
The opposition BJP, however, slammed the state government for "conducting an election campaign using public money".
I urge people to get their grievances redressed & avail other services at these camps," Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee tweeted.
State BJP chief Dilip Ghosh alleged that the TMC government kicked off its election campaign using public money.
