Suvendu Adhikari vows to fulfill Nandigram poll promises

Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has accused former chief minister Mamata Banerjee of deliberately stalling development projects in Nandigram, including rail connectivity and drinking water pipelines, for political reasons. Addressing his first public meeting in the constituency after assuming office, Adhikari claimed that Banerjee had blocked these projects earlier but said there were now 'no obstacles' to development.

Adhikari assured residents that every commitment made during the election campaign would be fulfilled 'word for word'. He also attacked the Trinamool Congress and the Left Front, alleging that decades of corruption had weakened Bengal's administrative structure. The chief minister said the state would be rebuilt into a 'Sonar Bangla' with the support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Adhikari further alleged that nearly 4,500 BJP supporters had been implicated in 'false cases' over the past five years in Nandigram and elsewhere. He promised legal support to affected workers and warned 'goons' that they would be held accountable, while urging his supporters not to take the law into their own hands. The chief minister reaffirmed his emotional bond with Nandigram despite having vacated the assembly seat after winning from two constituencies.
