An analysis of chief ministers’ assets, based on a report by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), reveals that West Bengal’s Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, has the least amount of assets among 31 chief ministers in India. Her assets are valued at just 15.40 lakh rupees. The report’s data is sourced from the affidavits submitted by the chief ministers during recent elections. This has led to a political stir in Bengal.
While Mamata Banerjee is the poorest, N Chandrababu Naidu of Andhra Pradesh is the wealthiest Chief Minister, with assets exceeding 931 crore rupees.
