After decimating the Left Front to its worst defeat in over 30 years in Bengal, a confident Trinamool Congress is set to encircle the CPM-led government in the state on various issues.
From the contentious Nayachar chemical hub project to state government’s lack of preparedness in controlling flood and CPM cadres unleashing terror against political rivals, the Trinamool leaders are all set to give serious headache to the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee government.
On Sunday, Trinamool chief and now Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee swore to take up the issue of “CPM’s indulgence in post-poll violence” with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
“Those who indulge in state-sponsored terrorism have no moral right to rule the state and even though we are not retaliating against these attacks, people may lose their patience and counter such violence,” Mamata said.
She also enlisted the details of her partyworkers death in post-poll violence in different parts of Bengal, including Burdwan, South and North 24 Parganas, Ghoksadanga in Cooch Behar district and Bagnan.
Trinamool leader Partha Chatterjee has already raised the issue with Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi.
She also alleged biased attitude of a few senior police officers in Burdwan district during the elections.
“Even though we are not vindictive towards anybody, we still urge these police officers to work without any political bias.”
Accusing the Left Front government of sitting on a “pot of corruption”, Banerjee said there was a need to investigate into how the CPM is misappropriating money meant for the development of Bengal.
