The land acquisition (issue raised by Mamata) was declared illegal and void by the SC.
Buddhadeb though being a gentleman and an astute politician did not abide by law and accomodated the requests made for allocation of land near Calcutta instead of Kharagpur as was previously decided. He being the CM broke the law. His party men being the terror as they were forced the farmers in giving up the land.
Mamata wasn't wrong in protesting for the rights of poor individuals and the illegalities in the allocation. In the process she got an anti-industry image, also she couldn't been seen allocating fertile (three crop) lands to industry.
Please read more about this issues and at least the legal angle. It's sad even lawyers are making such loose comments based on just the headline of news articles.
Heyy, right wing mod, mark this as trollish.
- Opposition vote split between CPIM/Congress coalition and BJP: 35 to 40% votes enough to win in many seats.
- Muslim and Hindu Matua (SC) votebank heavily consolidates in favour of TMC, which assures many seats
In 2019, she got a scare when the the BJP won 18/42 seats because the Matuas sided with BJP while the Congress won 2 seats because a section of the Muslims became unhappy with corruption and went with the Congress. But that’s unlikely to happen this time because both the BJP and Congress have squandered their goodwill and act at the the direction of their high commands in Delhi, which are clueless
We live in strange and interesting times. In the good old days, the evil and corrupt got away with daylight robbery - but the people they governed knew better. Sometimes such rogues eventually even went to jail (even if they were jailed in luxury #laluprasadyadav). Today - all one has to do is call him/ her/themself a liberal and can get away with anything in the court of public opinion. Beyond pathetic!
BTW, even Kejriwal is in the docks - summoned by ED.
Buddhadeb Bhattacaharjee and all law-abiding, pro-development people of Bengal and India stand vindicated
