Kolkata, November 14: Sticking to his defence of the ‘recapture’ of Nandigram, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Wednesday said his government has allotted Rupees 1 crore for relief and resettlement of those returning home.

"I am saying today what I have said yesterday. Those who returned home merely followed the tactics of the Opposition," an unfazed Chief Minister told a press conference when asked whether he stuck to his view that the Opposition parties had been paid back in their own coin.

Supporting CPM state secretary Biman Bose's statement that there was a ‘new dawn’ in Nandigram following the ‘recapture’, Bhattacharjee said the government has allocated Rupees 1 crore from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund for relief and rehabilitation.

"The fund is being sent to the (East Midnapore) District Magistrate. From this, Rs 1,000 would be given to the returning families for reconstruction of fully-damaged houses and Rs 500 for partially damaged ones. Each family would be given another Rs 1,000 for buying utensils," he said.

He also added that the funds would be given to the affected families irrespective of their political affiliation.

Down with Buddhadeb by anand on 15 Nov 2007

Buddhadeb and his communists goons have done this openly, yet Congress and so called secularists have not uttered any word over it. They should have thrown all the communist goons behind bar.This is worse than Godhra. Atleast there people could go and see whats happening. Here this was done with such ruthlessness, it is such a pity for the affected people.GOD will punish these guys.

Nandigram by Arvind on 15 Nov 2007

Buddhadeb has abdicated his responsibility as the CM to maintain peace in his state. He cannot hand over that responsibilty to the CPM cadres, whoever might have started the violence according to him.

CAN YOU DO ANYTHING AND GET AWAY WITH ANY EXPLANATION? I hope somebody will talk about accountability

Nandigram by Kuriakose Varkey on 15 Nov 2007

Modi and Buddha violated their oath. They notonly faled to protect citizen's lives but blessed and encouraged those who took law in to their own hands and killed citizens. I hope the supreme court rule that they have no more right to continue in office. Is there a lawyer who can take this up? Weep Bharath Matha

Leader of all citizens of the state by Som Karamchetty, PHD on 15 Nov 2007

It is surprising – no, shocking – to read that a chief minister says that his police could not fix a situation and that his party people could do it through violent action. Once elected, a chief minister is the leader of all the people of his or her state and his or her responsibility is to uphold the law through the established law and order forces and means at his or her command. That is democracy.

Buddha defends recapture by Varinder Sarin on 14 Nov 2007

Hats off to Buddha, CPM, PM and UPA. Eye for an eye is acceptable in W.Bengal while the same Eye for an Eye in Gujrat is Genocide. People believing in eye for an eye get Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner invitation from PM and UPA chairperson while Gujrat CM and his party gets bricks and abuses for the same offence. How one Shameful act is better than the other Shameful act? Perhaps this happens only in India."Sayian Bhaiye Kotwal to Dar Kahay Ka".Thank you,
