Ghosh got irritated and claimed that he has allocated money under MPLAD to resolve the waterlogging issue.
"Why should I still be forced to hear your complaint? If the local ward coordinator hasn't done his job, you should demonstrate before his residence. Don't hesitate to carry the muck and silt of drains before his house. But you must do it first and then inform me. I will also join you," the Medinipur MP said.
Slamming Ghosh, former TMC legislator Pradip Sarkar said the BJP MP has "done little to solve the waterlogging in Kharagpur".
"The state administration is actively working to prepare a master plan to address the issue," he added.
