Overview
- BJP MP Samik Bhattacharya used Zero Hour to allege the West Bengal government is denying central welfare benefits through vendetta politics.
- He cited Ayushman Bharat, PM Vishwakarma, Jan Dhan, Fasal Bima and the Smart City Mission, and claimed about 43 railway projects have been stalled.
- TMC members protested in the House, and party MP Samirul Islam countered with remarks on treatment of Bangla speakers and defended the state's record with migrant workers.
- Bhattacharya alleged road markings in West Bengal use white and blue instead of prescribed black and yellow, and he claimed road accidents are rising.
- Minister of State for Road Transport Harsh Malhotra said non-compliant markings could attract punitive action and indicated audits should be conducted, as Mamata Banerjee pressed a separate SIR challenge in the Supreme Court the same day.
