New Delhi, JAN 11, 2021:  Union Culture and Tourism Minister Prahlad Singh Patel strongly criticized the Mamata Banerjee government over the lawlessness in the state. He attacked the Wage Board for tea gardens workers and the Bengal government for lease-related problems. Mr Patel accused the state government of apathy towards cultural activities in Darjeeling.  He was talking to the media during his stay in Darjeeling.

There is no improvement in the status of tea garden workers

Union MoS (IC) Culture and Tourism Prahlad Singh Patel alleged that the Bengal has been diverted away from the way of progress. He said that nature has given everything to Darjeeling, but this area has been the victim of the negligence of the state government.  He recalls that he came Siliguri about 10 years ago to attend the program of the Bharatiya Janata Mazdoor Mahasangh, and since then, there has been no improvement in the condition of the workers of the tea gardens.

He criticized the state government by saying that the problems of tea garden workers have remained the same over the years, people have not even got the lease of the land.  He told that the Central Government has implemented a minimum wage board for the plantation employees, which will be implemented soon. 

This time 200 will cross

Mr Patel said that our manifesto is our resolution letter.  We believe in the timebound solution to the problem. Whatever promises we make, we fulfil that within the stipulated time.  He said that we will find a permanent political solution to the Gorkha problems.  On the answer of a question, he said that on the request of the Darjeeling MP Shri Raju Bista, we immediately provided the money to the Nepalese research scholars in 3 days, when there was no question of elections. 

Mr Patel said that many types of taxes are collected here since the time of the British, but facilities are not provided in accordance.  He alleged that MPs of opposition parties in Bengal cannot spend their MPLAD funds for the development works.  He said that this is the reason that the people of Bengal want change and that will happen.

 Government of Bengal should pay attention to culture - Patel

Union Culture and Tourism Minister Prahlad Singh Patel said that there is no platform available for conducting cultural activities in Darjeeling.  Mr Patel demanded that the state government provide a place like Tagore Culture Space and said that if the state government provides the land, then his ministry can do a lot of work here in the field of art and culture.  He said that the culture of Bengal is very rich but there is a lack of institutions through which the artists of this place may know about the culture and work to further improve it.

Mr Patel said that when tourists from India and abroad come to a tourist place, along with the natural beauty, they are also interested in understanding the cultural heritage of the place, which has no system here.  He said that when his party will come to power in Bengal, a lot of work will be done here.  Earlier, Mr Patel offered prayers at Mahakal Temple and paid tribute to the martyrs by going to the War Memorial. He was accompanied by Darjeeling MP and Bharatiya Janata Party national spokesperson Raju Bista during his tour
