Mamata Banerjee seeks audience with PM Modi to press demands for financial dues owed by Centre. She plans to visit Delhi accompanied by party MPs between Dec 18-20. Banerjee highlights that the Centre is collecting GST from the state but not sharing the proceeds. She also mentions that funds eligible for the state under central schemes like MGNREGA are not forthcoming. Despite the Centre stopping its share of funds, the state continues welfare schemes with its own resources.
