Agartala, July 8 : West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee today criticised his opponents for blocking the industrial reforms that he is determined to bring in his State, even as Tripura celebrated the 30 years of uninterrupted rule of Left coalition in his State here today.
Thousands of Left supporters marched to the Stable Ground as they celebrated "30 years West Bengal government's land, agricultural and industrial reforms".
CPI (M) leader and Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, hailing Bhattacharjee said, "It is a record as very rarely has an elected government survived for so long anywhere, where another government of totally the opposite pole has been ruling there at the centre."
Bhattacharjee, who was present on the occasion, said that the Left government have made a series of remarkable achievements over the last three decades, including land reforms and agriculture and is presently concentrating on the industries for creating more scope of employment within the state.
Referring to the recent violent incidents in Nandigram, Bhattacharjee said, "We wanted to set a chemical hub for the people of the state but if they don't want it there then we won't. However, in any case we have to set a chemical hub in our state or it will be a huge loss for us."
Meanwhile, hundreds of people called on the veteran communist leader Jyoti Basu in Kolkata on his 93rd birthday.
''This seventh government that we have formed, it is a Left Front government, not a CPI (M) government only. Centrally and in the districts, we have the Left Front. I hope no one will ever be able to stop their victorious march,'' Basu said, who as served as Communist leader for 67 years.
