Saha alleged that the opposition is being silenced in Parliament. Opposition MPs are not being given the opportunity to discuss important issues.

He said that the MGNREGA project has been practically canceled due to the power of majority, as a result of which thousands of poor families are facing extreme financial crisis today.

Ashish Kumar Saha said that the constitutional rights of the workers are being taken away constantly. The real problems of the people of the state will be highlighted before the administration through the Lok Bhavan campaign.
