In response to West bengal Chief minister Mamata Banerjee's claims that the MNREGA money are being withheld by the Centre, nirmala sitharaman stated that the state is home to 25 lakh individuals who possess fraudulent employment cards.

The state's Ayushman Bharat is not being implemented by the TMC administration, according to the finance minister, "because of politics".
"The most impoverished people require certain programmes. The Ayushman Bharat initiative offers health benefits up to Rs 5 lakh, but West bengal hasn't put it into practice. "You want to give the people a better system, give it to them, but why not also give them Rs 5 lakh in health benefits?" she said.
