A recent report by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) has revealed that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is the poorest among the 31 Chief Ministers of India. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief has the least assets, just Rs 15 lakh 40 thousand. This report has been prepared on the basis of information from the affidavits given by the Chief Ministers across the country in the recent assembly elections or by-elections. At the same time, politics has heated up in Bengal on this matter.
Actually, Mamata Banerjee has retained the title of ‘India’s poorest Chief Minister’. And the ‘richest Chief Minister of the country’ is N Chandrababu Naidu of Andhra Pradesh. The total assets of the TDP supremo are more than Rs 931 crore.
List of richest Chief Ministers
At the same time, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu is right after Chandrababu Naidu in the list of richest Chief Ministers. His assets are Rs 332 crore. The only ‘billionaire’ Chief Ministers of the country are Chandrababu Naidu and Pema Khandu. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is in third place in terms of total assets. Omar Abdullah’s name is just above Mamata in this list. The assets of the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir are Rs 55 lakh.
Total assets of 31 Chief Ministers is Rs 1,630 crore
The total assets of 31 Chief Ministers of the country is Rs 1,630 crore. According to the ADR report, Mamata Banerjee had declared in her election affidavit that she has 9 grams of gold. The then market value of that gold was Rs 43,837. It has been revealed that the Chief Minister of West Bengal does not have any land. Not only this, she does not even have her own house.
Mamata Banerjee’s brother Kartik Banerjee said that Mamata is outside our family, she lives like a sadhika. Mamata says that she is for everyone, not for the family. The people of the country and the Chief Minister of the state should take a lesson from Mamata Banerjee. She does not even take salary from the state government.
BJP targets Mamata Banerjee
At the same time, BJP leader Rahul Sinha claims that CM Mamata Banerjee is from a family and her family has 34 registered properties on Harish Mukherjee Road. She is actually a drama queen. Whatever she and her brother loot, they divide it among the family. Or what did any member of her family do for 34 properties in one street? Is each property in Bhawanipur worth Rs 50 lakh, how much money does she have?
Sacrifice should be learned from Mamata Banerjee: Dr. Shashi Panja
Senior Cabinet Minister in the West Bengal Government, Dr. Shashi Panja said that BJP should learn to sacrifice from Mamata Banerjee, but they call her corrupt. She has shown the country what a Chief Minister should be like. She has sacrificed everything for the public, she neither has her own house nor family. Her sacrifice is clearly visible in the Election Commission affidavits. BJP should be ashamed. And NDA allies have assets worth Rs 931 crore? Shameful.
