My friend Buddha right

Do sincerely believe that my friend Buddhadeb Bhattacharya is right when he says time has come to work steadfastly to rapidly industrialise economy... We need to encourage labour-intensive industries

If error in SEZ, will correct

No leaving out minorities

I make no apology for identifying minority concentrated districts... to ensure that the minorities do not get left behind and they too get the benefit of the growth process
