India Buddhadeb accuses Trinamool of ushering in 'danger' for Bengal
Charging the Trinamool Congress with ushering in a 'great danger' for West Bengal, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today said he had specific reports about the Opposition party having direct links with the underground Maoists. '' The Trinamool Congress is working hand-in-hand with the Maoists in certain districts. The Government has got specific reports that is working together with the Maoists... I am telling them not to go that way, '' he said while addressing a rally of the ruling Left Front. Mr Bhattacharjee, who lambasted the Trinamool Congress for trying to whip up terror and force unrest in the state, said the party had claimed earlier that there was nothing called Maoist in the state, but it was hand in glove with the Maoists and its front organisation People Ccommittee Against Police Atrocities at Salboni, Goaltore and Garbeta in West Midnapore, Sarenga in Bankura and Balarampur in Purulia. Referring to political clashes in the state, the Chief Minister said if the Trinamool Congress really wanted to establish peace, it would have attended meetings, convened by the administration to normalise the situation. Asserting that there would be no wavering from the path of industrialisation, Mr Bhattacharjee said it was the intention of his Government to set up industries in the interest of farmers, who were not being able to sustain on agriculture. '' While going for industry not for a single instance did we forget the interests of farmers, '' he said. The Chief Minister informed that the state Government and the Centre would work together to set up a power project on the Tatas' abandoned land at Singur. Referring to the criticism from certain quarters that the Left Front Government had done nothing in its three-decade rule, the Chief Minister pointed out that West Bengal was the only state where land had been distributed among poor farmers, while it stood first in production of foodgrains. Besides setting up a number of industries, the state also witnessed largescale employment in the growing IT sector, increase in the number of higher educational institutions and construction of new roads and flyovers, he said. '' We are giving rice to the poor at Rs two per KG. We are trying to make BPL list as correct as possible, while condition of the tribals, scheduled castes and Muslims in the state has improved despite false propagonda, '' he said. The meeting was organised in protest against the countrywide price rise of essentials. Several Left Front leaders, including its Chairman Biman Basu held the UPA Government at the Centre responsible for the situation and called for a mass movement. -- (UNI) -- 16CA51.xml
