Mamata government devoid of political will, programmes: Buddha

The state was steadily going downhill for lack of political will and policies and programmes for development on the part of the government, the Left leader alleged

"It is very difficult to understand if any government is running in the state, rather it's a club. It is better to speak less and less about the functioning of the government," Bhattacharjee told a party function to observe 124th birth anniversary of the CPI(M) Founder leader Muzaffar Ahmed.

He alleged that attacks against women had surpassed all records and observed this could have been arrested had there been any political will on the part of the ruling coalition.

"Attempt to shield any crime or disruption of law and order is due to lack of political will of the government", Bhattacharjee observed.

He said the government had failed to attract any investment and there was not a single proposal to set up industry in the state.

"Infosys is yet to decide on investment, while there was no proposal for investment in the steel sector after the agreement with Jindal's for a big one at Salboni. Not a single employment opportunity has been created in IT sector during last one year," Bhattacharjee said.

"With poor people in the villages losing jobs and the workers having no emloyment opportunity, the progress of the state is under tremendous pressure," he said. MORE
