Buoyed by the landslide victory that pulverised the 34 year-old Left Front rule in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today said that the winning coalition would provide good governance and an impartial administration.
"The priority of the new government would be to restore people's democratic rights and provide good governance and impartial administration, free from politicisation," she told journalists at her residence here.
Banerjee said she will formulate a land policy which will work both for industry and agriculture. "I will urge the Centre to ensure an uniform policy so that farmers get their proper rights."
"Today is a festival of democracy. I am thankful to the Election Commission. People this time could vote fearlessly as in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls. In 2004 when I was the only TC MP in Lok Sabha there were atrocities on our people," she said.
Mamata said, "I have no family of my own, except Ma, mati, Manush (Mother, Land and people). I have been fighting for the last 34 years. There was no development in Bengal under Left rule, rather they politicised everything."
Claiming that the Left Front government had totally failed, Banerjee reiterated her old charge that there was state-sponsored terrorism during its rule.
"I respect the Leftists, but the Left Front deviated from the Left ideology and pursued its so called Leftism which was not liked by the people. In fact, they (CPI-M) did not allow people to vote.
"The Left Front was a government of the Marxists, for the Marxists and by the Marxists," she said.
