Next Sunday, we have called a meeting in Singur where our MP Ratna De Nag will be invited. We will chalk out our plans for fresh agitations in Singur,” said Manna.
After her return from Delhi, Banerjee was scheduled to visit the home of Sudip Bandopadhyay, her party’s chief whip in Parliament, who lost his mother on Friday.
Besides lending a fresh thrust to her party’s agitation against the riling Left Front government in Bengal, Banerjee also announced cheap passes for the economically-backward and said her priority would be to provide “economic freedom” to the marginalised sections of the society to travel by rail.
After taking oath in Delhi, Banerjee said her ministry would decide on providing monthly travel passes for the unorganised labourers, vendors, domestic workers and landless labourers besides students at a nominal cost. The technicalities would be worked out later, she said.
