In simply over six months forward of the West Bengal Congress ballot, the dominant Trinamool Congress (TMC) has found a brand new assault on the BJP-led centre. Once more, dealing with the difficulty of the centre’s “step mom remedy” in the direction of West Bengal, the TMC is concentrating on Damodar Valley Company (DVC), the central company that oversees dams alongside the Damodar River, to launch water into the province and create “synthetic floods.”
The businesses have denied the allegations, however the TMC will think about establishing a DVC workplace in Kolkata in Gherao after Lakshmi Puja on Monday, escalating the difficulty and putting the BJP earlier than the meeting vote.

The corporate oversees a number of dams and hydroelectric and thermal energy vegetation within the Damodar River area, spreading throughout West Bengal and Jharkhand.
