With the election around the corner, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wishes to fund her populist projects through co-op banks of the state.
Election preparations are gathering steam with Amit Shah addressing a massive rally in the state on Thursday.
Media reports say West Bengal govt has launched a self-employment project to help 2 lac jobless youth who would receive loans from cooperative banks for buying two wheelers for commercial purposes.
Mamata said since it is not easy to get loans from nationalized and other banks, co-op banks will play a major role and the project will be helpful for those in need of loans.
Ahead of the assembly election, the Mamata govt is introducing several welfare schemes in the state.
