Statesman News ServiceMALDA, May 6. — Chief minister Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee urged the Congress workers to join the CPI-M and the Left Front on the last day of his campaign for the Assembly election at Kaliachak in Malda today. Paying resp-ect to the late Malda MP and Congress stalwart, ABA Ghani Khan Chou-hury, the chief minister Mr Bhattacharjee claimed: “After Ghani Khan, nobody in Malda Congress can fulfill the dream of the great leader for development in this district.” He said: “In his absence, only we can fulfill his dream. Have faith in the LF government … have faith in me … I am assuring you … we must develop the region as desired by Ghani Khan Saheb.” Addressing another rally at English Bazaar yesterday, the chief minister said he would follow the policy of development desired by Ghani Khan in this district. He said: “The government is planning to set up another medical college in North Bengal and to re-start air service in Malda.” But he did not mention the location of the proposed medical college in North Bengal. Mr Bhattacharjee explai-ned the government’s performance in the last three decades and sought support from the Congress-men. To counter the union defence minister Mr Pra-nab Mukherjee, the chief minister blamed the central government as well as the Farakka Barrage Proj-ect, a central government unit, for failing to check erosion on the left bank of the Ganges in the Malda district. Yesterday in Kalia-chak and other areas, Mr Mukherjee had blamed the state government on this issue and said that the state had not utilised funds for erosion control allotted by the Centre. The CM said he would look into the high~handedness of the BSF in dealing with cultivators along the Indo-Bangladesh border.
