"The High Court's order on Nandigram is an interference in the state and Centre's jurisdiction. We are urging the state government to move the Supreme Court. If High Court has the last word on everything, what is the use of the legislature and the executive?" CPM West Bengal secretary Biman Bose told a party rally.

Bose, who is the Left Front chairman and a CPM Politburo member, questioned "Will the court decide the government's course of action? If the court tries to rule over the two other pillars of democracy, what is the need of the legislature and the executive? The court has suddenly turned proactive on Nandigram."

He also criticised Governor Gopalkrisha Gandhi, who has indicted the state government, saying the ‘recapture’ of Nandigram was ‘unlawful and unacceptable’.

"The Governor is playing a partial role on the Nandigram issue," he said.

"Why did not the Governor show concern when CPM supporters were attacked and driven out of Nandigram?" he asked.

Senior CPM leader Benoy Konar said, "Raj Bhavan and the court have joined hands against the democratically elected government in the state. It is because of the governor that the High Court took up the case on Nandigram."
