Garbeta (WB), Oct 31 (PTI) Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday alleged that the CPI(M) and the Mamata All India Trinamool Congress have come together to create anarchy in West Bengal.
He said this was happening because of the “new-found bonhomie” between CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby and former CM Mamata Banerjee.
Asserting that the CPI(M) and the Mamata AITC have become “brothers-in-arms”, Adhikari said, “The two parties have come together to bring back the days of anarchy.”
He alleged that the CPI(M) was “trying to spread its wings” by taking advantage of the split in the Trinamool Congress following the West Bengal assembly elections.
Criticising CPI(M) state secretary Mohammad Salim, the chief minister said, “You had the temerity to state in Garbeta some days back that people resisted when the BJP came to attack the CPI(M).”
The chief minister said he will reopen the criminal cases against all those who allegedly went from the Garbeta CPI(M) office to hold an armed attack in Nandigram during the 2007 anti-land acquisition agitation, and those involved in the massacre of TMC supporters in Choto Angaria village in Garbeta in 2001.
“No one will be spared.” Adhikari asserted while addressing a ‘Save Democracy’ public meeting at Garbeta in Paschim Medinipur district, which is part of the Jangalmahal region that was affected by a Maoist movement during the Left Front rule in the state.
Noting that the BJP government in West Bengal is just six months old, he said the saffron party has won by huge margins in two by-elections in Rejinagar and Nandigram and the Falta repoll.
“In the coming civic polls in Kolkata and Howrah, the Mamata Trinamool and its friend, the red party (CPI-M), who want to create unrest in India, will be demolished by the people,” he said.
The CM said the BJP government has, after taking over in May, strengthened border security, gave land to the BSF for fencing of the international boundary with Bangladesh, and the state has associated itself with every welfare scheme of the Union government, from Ayushman Bharat to PM Kisan.
The chief minister said his government has increased remunerations of all workers and employees in the state.
“We will ensure that all your interests are safeguarded in the future as well,” he said, maintaining that the government has given financial security to all sections of workers, from para teachers to village police volunteers.
Adhikari said his government has hiked the dearness allowance of state government employees to an extent not done by any previous dispensation in West Bengal. PTI AMR ACD
