Oppn refuse to accept Mamata govt's success as projected in

Major opposition parties in West Bengal today refused to accept the success of the Mamata Banerjee government as projected in the address of Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi in the ongoing budget session of the state assembly.

Tripathi had addressed the house on the first day of the budget session on Tuesday and the opposition said that there is "no reflection of the claims made in it in reality".

Speakers belonging to major opposition parties during the discussion on the Governor's address in the assembly during the day were unanimous that there was hardly any development in the state which benefitted the people of the state.
 

Members of the ruling parties ignored the claims of the opposition members and were seen elaborating on the success stories of the TMC government.

RSP member and former minister Biswanath Chowdhury strongly criticised the government for its attitude towards tea gardens and tea industry as a whole.

Stressing on the need for more concrete step to rejuvenate the entire tea industry, Chowdhury regretted that the state government has failed to do so and highlighted some irregularities in the 100-day's work in the state.

Congress members Asit Mitra and Sudip Mukherjee too claimed that the state government was not on the right track in implementing many projects.

The state government has implemented some projects, but it failed to reach the benefits to all sections of the people, they said.

Rejecting outright the allegations, TMC member Tapas Roy said that the opposition parties were doing more politics than criticising the government constructively.

What the Congress and CPI(M) are doing, would only benefit the BJP, Roy said.

TMC member Samir Jana said the opposition had nothing to say on the Governor's address in the House and were busy commenting on other issues.

Other TMC members Mohua Moitra, Sujit Bose and Nirmal Ghosh iterated how the Mamata Banerjee government was implementing a large number of projects to benefit all sections of the people.

The Left Front members are particularly jealous about the success of Mamata Banerjee government since its government had failed to provide much benefit to the people in the state during its 34-year rule, they said.
