Insult to people of Bengal: Buddhadeb




SAMSI/NEW DELHI, April 25: “We do not need to learn anything from Mr. Rahul Gandhi about farmers’ and poor people’s plight in West Bengal”, chief minister Mr. Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said today.

Addressing an election rally at Samsi in North Malda parliamentary seat, the CM reacted sharply the comments of Mr Gandhi about Bengal and said: “ We will never learn any thing from Mr. Rahul Gandhi. What does he know? He was not born when we had struggled to develop the lives of farmers and downtrodden people in this state. He needs to learn more and study more about the West Bengal where poor farmers have got betterment in their lives”. “His remarks against our state and our farmers have humiliated them”, he added.

CPI-M leader, Mr Sitaram Yechury, too termed Mr Gandhi’s attack on the Left government in West Bengal as “tantamount to insulting the people of Bengal”. He told reporters in New Delhi that the people of West Bengal had elected the Left Front government seven times in a row. “Why are the people continuing to repose faith in the Left? If you say they are doing so for the wrong reasons, then it is tantamount to insulting the people of Bengal,” he said. SNS
