TMC cries foul over missing WB tableau

O'Brien alleged that the government rejected the tableau was rejected because it depicted the Kanya Shree scheme. "While the whole country is talking about girl child, Bengal's tableau was rejected. Life goes on." he said.

"We are very sad and disappointed." he added.

If reports are to be believed, WB tableau was rejected because of the Kanya Shree scheme (welfare of the girl child), which was similar to the central government's Beti Bacho, Beti Padhao tableau . The Defence ministry told the Bengal government that they should depict a broad culture of the state's culture.
