Kolkata, June 21: Facing a stiff challenge to stem the decline of the Left Front in West Bengal, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today asserted that the alternative to the Front rule was anarchy and asked supporters not to be demoralised by the success of the opposition.
“Change for what? Anarchy? West Bengal is in no mood to fall behind. We want to move ahead in agriculture, industry, education, health, human development. Is there any substitute to it?” Bhattacharjee told a Left Front rally to mark the completion of 33 years of uninterrupted rule in the state.
“Does the change mean flight of capital from West Bengal? We cannot reverse industrialisation. We cannot allow another Singur to happen in West Bengal. There is no power which can stop our drives for industrialisation,” he said.
