Kolkata/UNI:  Diamond Harbour MP Abhishek Banerjee today questioned West Bengal’s omission from the Garib Kalyan Rozgar Abhiyan.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Mr Banerjee said, "Shri @narendramodi Ji, why have you blatantly ignored the concerns of 11 Lakh migrant workers from #Bengal who’ve recently returned to their homes."

"Why has WB been left out of the Garib Kalyan Rozgar Abhiyan? Why this apathy towards the people of Bengal? " he further asked.

It might be mentioned that West Bengal doesn’t figure in the list of states where returnee migrant workers will get job opportunities in infrastructure creation.

For the project, the Centre has selected 116 districts in six states — Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha and Jharkhand.
