He alleged that Bengal has drifted from the path of progress.

On a visit to the North Bengal region, Patel alleged that the state government had done nothing for tea garden workers.

The Union minister of state for culture and tourism also accused the TMC government of ignoring the local art and culture of Darjeeling.

"There is no platform available for conducting cultural activities in Darjeeling. If the state government provides land, my ministry can do a lot of work here in the field of art and culture," Patel said.

"The culture of Bengal is very rich but there is a lack of institutions through which the artists of this place may know about the culture and work to improve it further," he said.
