West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who completed four years in office on Wednesday, claimed that her government has fulfilled its commitment to the people despite the huge debt burden left by the preceding Left Front regime.
"Today (Wednesday) our government completes four years in office. In spite of the legacy of the huge debt burden left by the previous government, so many hurdles, financial constraints... we have delivered our best and fulfilled our commitments to the people of Bengal," Banerjee posted on Facebook.
The Trinamool Congress supremo said several projects initiated by her government have been lauded globally.
"During the past four years, several of schemes/projects of Bengal and our performance have won acclaim of international organisations like World Bank, United Nations, UNICEF, DFID and so on. Many of the schemes have got national recognition and have been recommended as models for other states to follow,a she said.
She thanked the people for giving her the mandate to serve them.
"We are indeed grateful to Maa, Maati, Manush (people) of Bengal for giving us the mandate to serve them. Heartiest congratulations, greetings and best wishes to all my brothers and sisters and our family of West Bengal government," she said.
Banerjee took oath as chief minister on this day in 2011 after her party Trinamool Congress, in alliance with the Congress and the Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist), won a landslide victory, unseating the Left Front which ruled the state from 1977 to 2011.
