West Bengal government minister Moumita Biswas held former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee responsible for the absence of industries and factories in the state. He alleged that whenever a plan was prepared to set up an industry in the state, it was foiled by a conspiracy on the part of the then government, so that the journey of development did not start in the state.

Speaking to news agency IANS on Wednesday, he claimed that whenever Indian and foreign investors thought of investing in West Bengal, they were stopped.

Not only this, even a veteran industrialist like Tata had once thought of investing in West Bengal, but the then government stopped him from doing so, the result of which was that all these investors and industrialists moved to other states and what is the situation there today.

This thing is not hidden from anyone. Once upon a time, Amul was started by a few women and it is well known what a big organization it has transformed into today.

Minister Moumita Biswas said that former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee used to go on foreign tours just to show people. Till date he has not taken any steps to invite investors to the state. If it had been raised, the situation would not have been like this today. These people used to go on foreign tours with big delegations, but sadly they did not take any steps in the field of industry. Now our government has been formed in the state.

Our delegation will also go on foreign tours and bring investors from there to India. Also, I want to make one thing clear that our delegation will not include 30-40 people, but only a few people, who will prepare a complete action plan for development in the state.

He said that it cannot be denied that the situation we faced in West Bengal was very unfortunate. Now our government has taken a firm resolve that we will establish factories in the state tomorrow under any circumstances. People could not get job opportunities in the previous government.

Because of this, many people we know settled abroad in search of better jobs, so that they can work for their personal development, but now our government will not allow this to happen. Now we will not make any kind of compromise with development.

At the same time, he assured that the way the Syndicate used to create hurdles in setting up factories in West Bengal will not be done now during the BJP rule. We will ensure that industries are established in the state smoothly, so that avenues of employment are paved for the people and they do not face any kind of problem in future.

At the same time, it cannot be denied that at present everyone in TMC in the state is good. For so many years, the state has been ruled by goons who had nothing to do with the development of the state, but this will not happen now. Now our government will attack all these syndicates directly.

Moumita Biswas, minister in the West Bengal government, said that now if we have unions here, they will work directly for the welfare of the employees and workers. They will not attack and kill the owners of industries. We will work to implement a developmental principle in the state, so that the concept of overall development can be implemented in the state in the coming days.

Besides, the minister also expressed his views regarding jute mill. He said that jute mills have been closed in West Bengal, but now we will consider starting it. Earlier, when jute mills were open, it was directly sent to other countries.

Now after our government comes, it is being considered to start it again, so that other people can get its benefit. Farmers will directly benefit from the opening of jute mill. Our farmer brothers will not have to go to other places for this. Overall, it can be said that the opening of jute mill will benefit the factory owners as well as the farmers.

He said that we will try to establish better communication with the government to start industries and factories tomorrow, because usually in the absence of better communication, the pace of development slows down. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to have better communication with the government, so that there are no obstacles in the path of development.

In the end, he took a tough stance against extortionists and said that no one will be spared. Such people will be identified and strict action will be taken against them. I myself have come forward several times in land grabbing cases. I myself have assured them that after taking cognizance of such cases, strict action will be taken.

However, I am aware that the number of such people is very high. If action is taken against such people in a systematic manner, then the jail terms will also reduce, but I assure you that any laxity in taking strict action against such people will not be accepted.
