She is not fulfilling the needs of the poor during the lockdown. The grain which the state received from the Centre as a relief is being sold by the TMC MLAs from their houses. There is a total collapse of the PDS system in the state," he said while speaking to .

"Proper treatment is also not given to the people coming to hospitals. If someone dies, his body is burnt without informing the family members.We have handed all the papers to the Governor.
