Speaking at a public meeting at the Belpahari Circus grounds in West Midnapore district ahead of the Trinamool Congress' July 21 Martyrs' Day rally, Banerjee said the days of Maoist leaders like Kishen'ji and others were over and the ruling TMC government lead by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has ensured that people speak the final word in the Junglemahal area.
"Earlier people could not venture out of their homes due to Red terror. Everyday reports of murders used to appear in the newspapers. Today, there is peace. In the last four years there has been no influx of Maoists activities and development has taken centre stage," said Banerjee.
