“We have been more careful after the Nandigram and Singur problems. We need industrialization for development. The state is not lagging behind even after Singur problem,” said Bhattacharjee while addressing a function to mark the 45th anniversary of party mouthpiece ‘Ganashakti’.

Over the past few years, the state witnessed violent protests over acquisition of land for setting up industrial units at Singur and Nandigram, which hit the ruling Left Front in elections to rural and civic bodies as also the Lok Sabha.

“We have to answer the young generation who are coming out of college and universities every year. The opposition doesn’t want development,” said Bhattacharjee.
