Meanwhile, newly elected Tamluk MP Suvendu Adhikary is planning to hold a public meeting in Nayachar on Saturday to protest against the proposed chemical SEZ in the area.
“I will attend the rally and we will try to convince the people about the environmental hazards associated with the Nayachar chemical SEZ,” said Adhikary. With the CPM claiming that Banerjee will be in a political tightspot over the issue of Nayachar since it has been “cleared” by the Congress-led UPA government of which she is a part now, Adhikary said: “The Union government has not yet given environment clearance to the hub. We are planning a tourism project in Nayachar area,” added Adhikary.
He is also scheduled to meet Left Front ministers on the issue of floods in East and West Midnapore districts, including Nandigram. This will be the first time when a Trinamool MP will meet and raise issues with the state government after the Left was trounced in the recent Lok Sabha polls.
The Trinamool Congress wants to know the steps that the government plans to take for tackling floods in Midnapore during the monsoon.
