CPI(M) today mocked Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for allegedly failing to bring in big industries in West Bengal, and claimed the upcoming global business summit will "complete" the process of "de- industrialisation" in the state.
"We have seen many summits in the last four years. But none of them bore any results. Rather those industries which were there in Bengal have closed down and moved to other states due to the misrule of TMC," CPI-M leader Surya Kanta Mishra, also the Leader of Opposition, said.
The two-day Bengal Global Business Summit 2016 begins tomorrow.
"Until and unless the party which was involved in forcing industries out of the state is removed from power, no industry will come up here. This summit will complete the process of deindustrialisation of Bengal," Mishra claimed.
A pet project of the chief minister to showcase the state's potential in industries, the summit will put the spotlight on its capability and readiness to take on bigger and greater business challenges.
Referring to TMC's agitation against Tata Nano car project at Singur in 2006 when it was in the opposition, he said, it is a irony that the party which had "destroyed" the industrial prospects of Bengal is organising bussiness summits.
Mishra said if voted to power in this year's Assembly election, the CPI(M)-led Left Front will go for industry at Singur by taking along all stakeholders.
