Mamata warns Left Front

Special Correspondent

KOLKATA: “If I live, we will remove the Left Front from power,” Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee told a rally of the Paschim Banga Krishi Jami Raksha Committee here on Thursday.

The Committee was floated to protest against the acquisition of farmland for industry in the State.

The leadership of the Trinamool Congress — the principal constituent of the Committee — had declared that it would observe the day marking the completion of 30 years of Left Front rule in West Bengal as a “black day.”

“I want to tell the Left Front that this is the beginning of their end,” she said.

Ms. Banerjee wondered what Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee meant by industrial development, when it was merely building shopping malls and a few flyovers.

The Left Front was misleading the people in the name of ideology and even some of its constituents were critical of the anti-people policies being pursued by the State Government, she claimed.
