The West Bengal Chief Minister, Ms Mamata Banerjee, on Friday sought to send an all-party delegation to the Centre. The delegation would press for the State’s demand for a three-year moratorium on interest payments.
She told the State Legislative Assembly that she has apprised the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, and the former Finance Minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, on the matter.
The Chief Minister also asked the State Commerce and Industries Minister, Mr Partha Chatterjee, to take an all-party delegation to the Centre seeking the moratorium on interest payments. According to the Chief Minister, paucity of funds was hampering development activity in the State.
