West Bengal Government Tables 28 Pending CAG Reports, Plans Special Assembly Session
West Bengal Finance Minister Swapan Dasgupta tabled 28 pending Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports in the State Assembly, citing a constitutional lapse by the previous Trinamool Congress (TMC) government for not presenting them. The reports, covering fiscal years 2020-21 to 2024-25, detail the state's finances and are expected to explain West Bengal's debt exceeding Rs 8 lakh crore. The government plans a special Assembly session to discuss the findings and emphasize transparency about past financial management.
