Opposition questions in the Question Hour
During the Question Hour, members of Kerala, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu asked supplementary questions related to the outstanding money of MNREGA.

In addition, Rs 54,515 crore for West Bengal was released under MNREGA. He also said that the outstanding money will be released when compliance is completed.
