| Nandigram, the memoir | 03-JUL-09 |
|
| Trinamool Congress MP Shishir Adhikary is a man with a lot more work than time. He is a minister of state in the rural development ministry, and also needs to keep shuttling between Delhi and West Bengal since his leader has asked him to keep the pressure on the Left Front government in the state. The MP, however, has found time to pen a memoir. Called Dosh mash, dosh din (literally, 10 months and 10 days), it will be about the Nandigram resistance against the government’s land acquisition policies. |

| Minor violence in Nandigram, Singur sees large turnout | 08-MAY-09 |
|
| Nandigram remained at the centre of controversy on the polling day in West Bengal as supporters of the ruling CPI(M) were denied access to a large number of booths there allegedly by activists of the opposition Trinamool Congress (TC). Nandigram comes under the Tamluk Lok Sabha constituency where CPI(M) strongman Laxman Seth was pitted against Trinamool’s Shubendu Adhikary. The CPI(M) alleged that its agents were denied entry in the area and a large number of booths were captured by armed TC supporters. According to estimates by local CPI(M) leaders, at least 90 per cent of the 243 booths in Tamluk were captured by the Trinamool. Since the CPI(M) is not expecting to mop up a lead of not more than 30,000 votes from all other Assembly segments under the Tamluk Lok Sabha constituency, it might have a devastating consequence on the poll outcome of Tamluk for the party. |
