Development during the Congress rule in West Bengal

Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today compared the 2011 polls in West Bengal as a cyclonic storm that would wash away all bad things, including the Left Front, and dump them into the Bay of Bengal.

Addressing a poll campaign in Burdwan district, the veteran Congress leader criticised the Left Front's industrial and agricultural policy saying that its 34 years of ruling has eroded everything, and even undone what the Congress government did during 25 years in the post Independence period.

Citing examples of development during the Congress rule in West Bengal, the Union Minister said a number of power projects like Durgapur, Santaldih, Bandel, construction of many barrages like DVC and townships like Kalyani and Durgapur and Salt Lake had been set up.

He also dared the Left Front to name development work, if any, that it did during the 34 years of its regime stretching since 1977 and late 60s.

"Can comrade reply us what they did during these years," Mr Mukherjee said.
