Suvendu Officer: Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly and BJP MLA Subhendu Adhikari on Friday slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and warned that if she snaps ties with the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), many districts in South Bengal will fall into darkness. The Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly asked if Mamata Banerjee considered herself equal to the Chief Minister. He said the Chief Minister’s statement weakens the federal spirit of the country.
Flood management must be done in advance: Sukant Majumdar
On the flood situation in West Bengal, Union Minister Sukant Majumdar said, “The problem is that only when the problem comes upon you, you seek help from the central government. Flood management should be done in advance, what did they do in the last one year? Floods happen every year in Bengal, so the government should take action in this regard.
If we break ties with DVC, eight districts will be left without electricity.
Shubhendu Adhikari said Mamata Banerjee is making false allegations to hide the weaknesses of her government. He said pre-monsoon preparations were not made properly nor was infrastructure developed to deal with this disaster. The state government treasury is empty and funds meant for preventing floods are being siphoned off or looted unethically by her party colleagues. He said if Mamata Banerjee breaks ties with DVC, eight districts will be left without electricity. Don’t they realise that power plants run by DVC supply electricity to a large part of south Bengal?
