Reacting to Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee’s claim that the Singur land will be utilised for manufacturing cars, Mamata said: “Who prevented the chief minister from establishing the Nano factory at Singur? We wanted both industry and agriculture at Singur and it is still unclear to us why the state government dishonoured the agreement signed at the Raj Bhavan,” the Trinamool leader said.

Mamata also said the Marxists had become apprehensive about the Lok Sabha elections.

“The CPM has killed 11 of our supporters since the polls began in Bengal on April 30. Of these, nine belonged to the minority community. Fear and anxiety over poor performance in the elections had made the CPM furious,” alleged Mamata.

She also claimed that the government had failed to industrialise the state. Whatever industrial units West Bengal has were set up by Bidhan Chandra Roy, the former chief minister of the state. The Left government has also failed to compel several private companies to deposit the share of the provident fund of their workers with the PF commission, Mamata said.

She also expressed pleasure that Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi had reacted to the developments in Nandigram. “The Governor has expressed his concern over the Nandigram killings. In fact, I asked Partha Chatterjee to inform Gandhi about the recent happenings in Nandigram,” she said.
