Press Note

BJP President, Sh Rajnath Singh has demanded a Judicial or Parliamentary enquiry into the unfortunate killing of at least four people and over 100 being injured in police firing in Nandigram today and has held the West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya and his government responsible for this incident.

Sh Rajnath Singh said that it is a matter of grave concern that in the last 3 months due to high handedness of West Bengal Chief Minister, Nandigram has seen two major incidents of violence killing 10 people and the situation seems to be going out of control. A government which has no respect for farmers’ sentiments and wishes to respond with police firing leading to unfortunate deaths has no moral authority to continue. Government’s job is to diffuse flash points, however the CPI-M government in West Bengal believes in contrary and is solely responsible for today’s incident.

It is ironical that people were dying in Nandigram and Sh Buddhadeb Bhattacharya disillusioned with his “Industralisation Concept” went ahead with announcing of Singur- Tata project in the state assembly. It exposes CPI-M’s real face towards the plight of farmers.

Sh Rajnath Singh has announced that a BJP delegation will visit Nandigram soon and meet the families of aggrieved and submit their report to the party.
