Ahead of the assembly polls in
West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday unveiled several
projects for Maoist-affected areas in the state as she hit out at the
Centre and the opposition Left Front.
The 'Jalkanya', the state's
longest river bridge, was among the projects inaugurated by Banerjee at
an event in Nayagram in West Midnapore district.
The
1,472-metre-long bridge, built at a cost of nearly Rs.170 crore over the
Subarnarekha river, connects Keshiary with Nayagram in the district.
On
the various development projects and scheme initiated by her
government, Banerjee described restoration of peace in Jangalmahal --
the Left-wing extremism affected areas of the state -- as her biggest
achievement.
Castigating the erstwhile Left Front regime for
turning the area into a bloodied zone, Banerjee enumerated the various
schemes that brought development and prosperity in the forested
stretches of West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia districts -- referred
to as Jangalmahal.
Charging the Narendra Modi government at the
Centre with financial non-cooperation, Banerjee asserted that her
government has continued to dole out benefits to the people at large,
despite the union government discontinuing funds for several central
schemes.
"We answer all the slander through development," said Banerjee as she attacked the Left Front for its "34 years of misrule".
On
the occasion, she also unveiled six super-specialty hospitals at
Jhargram, Gopiballavpur, Kakdwip, Bishnupur, Panskura and Baruipur along
with a host of other healthcare utility services, major irrigation and
embankment strengthening schemes and new police stations among other
projects.
