Kolkata (PTI): The Trinamool Congress on Monday demanded that the Centre probe the mine explosion at Salboni shortly after West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya and Union Steel Minister Ram Vilas Paswan passed through the area in West Midnapore district.
"If it was really a landmine explosion, we condemn it. We want Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee to live. We urge the Centre to investigate the blast," Banerjee told a public meeting here before taking out a procession here to protest the alleged violence by the CPI(M) on Sunday when she visited Singur.
The CPI(M), she claimed, had wanted to prevent her from going to Singur. "Will the CPI(M) decide where I go and where I hold a meeting?"
Claiming that the police had remained a mute spectator when CPI(M) cadre were indulging in violence at Singur yesterday, she said she would counter the marxists politically.
Banerjee said that if her party did not have the people's support, she could not have held the meeting at Singur.
Accusing the CPI(M) of projecting her as "anti-industry", Banerjee said if this was so, the foundation stone laying ceremony of the JSW's proposed steel plant at Salboni yesterday "would not have taken place".
She reiterated her demand that the agreement between the West Bengal government and Tata Motors for their Nano plant at Singur be made public.
