Berhampore (WB): During the coming election, people of West Bengal would not forgive Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee for forcing the Tatas to exit from Singur from where Nano could have been rolled out, Left Front chairman Biman Bose today said

"The people of Bengal are unhappy at Nano's rollout from Mumbai.... They will not forgive Mamata Banerjee,"Bose said reffering to the Mamata Banerjee-led opposition at Singur which Ratan Tata had held responsible for the project's shift to Sanand in Gujarat.

He blamed prime minister Manmohan Singh for his 'wrong approach' in handling foreign policy and developmental issues.

"There has been no development in the country during the last five years of UPA rule," Bose, also the CPI(M) state secretary, told reporters here.

He said the Third Front was formed keeping in mind the overall development, peace and harmony of the country. Many parties are leaving the UPA and the NDA
to partner with the Third Front, he claimed. He was at Berhampore in Murshidabad district to attend a district level meeting of Left parties workers, where RSP State secretary Debabrata Bandhopadhyay, Socialist Party's state secretary Kiran Moi Nanda were also present.

Biman Bose is right when he says the people of Bengal will not forgive Mamata Banerjee for Nano Exit.
He should also have added that the same people of Bengal will not forgive Jyoti Basu and the Left Front government for driving out all industries from Bengal since 1967.
Mamata is just following Jyoti Basu's footsteps.
I wish Jyoti Basu lives to a ripe old age of at least 150 so that he continues to see the mess he has created.
