The incident sparked large-scale protests both in West Bengal as well as across India.

While the official schedule of the session has not been finalised, insiders suggested that the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) plans to bring a resolution condemning the Union government for allegedly withholding funds meant for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

“The winter session is likely to begin on November 25, but the agenda is still being decided,” Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee told PTI.

According to TMC sources, the government is likely to introduce a resolution criticising the central government for failing to release funds under PMAY, which in West Bengal operates as the Banglar Awas Yojana. The scheme aims to provide housing assistance to the rural poor.

Recently, protests have erupted across West Bengal over alleged exclusions of beneficiaries under the Banglar Awas Yojana. The state is currently conducting a field survey for around 11 lakh potential beneficiaries who were initially approved to receive financial support for house construction.

Villagers have been protesting in several districts, including Purulia, Birbhum, Paschim Medinipur and South 24 Parganas, particularly outside Block Development Offices (BDOs). Many of them alleged that local TMC leaders have deliberately removed their names from the list of beneficiaries. Under PMAY, beneficiaries in plain areas get a subsidy of Rs 1.2 lakh, while those in hilly or tribal regions receive Rs 1.3 lakhs.
