At Nandigram
A report on a rally at Nandigram which was addressed by Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Biman Bose says “The Nandigram imbroglio, said Buddhadeb, was a new and unwelcome experience in the thirty years of pro-people and pro-poor continuum of the Bengal Left Front government. It was an instance of the length the opposition was willing to go to try to embarrass the CPM and the LF government. The foray of bombs and the gun culture that marked the Maoists out was no politics, but murder and terror... What they ended up with was a division of the poor. Now that the forces of evil and anarchy are driven out of Nandigram in large measure, the people must join hands and take part in the democratic struggles and movements.”
