Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee said that only one per cent of the `Bengal package' submitted by her party before giving support to the Vajpayee Government was implemented so far.

Banerjee expressed hope that the Prime Minister, who would be invited to the public rally at the Brigade Parade Ground being organised by the party on February 10 on the occasion of its first anniversary, would make some announcement regarding implementation of the package.

She had a detailed discussion with the Prime Minister last month, after the Lok Sabha session, regarding the package which included a number of demands for the development of the State.

Asked why the implementation of the package, which was crucial to her party, was delayed,the firebrand leader said that the Vajpayee Government had faced many problems since it took over last March. But now the Government was stable. It should implement the package, she said.

She said that leaders of all anti-CPI-M parties, including those of State BJP would be invited to the rally. The Trinamool Congress leader condemned the attacks on the Christians in Gujarat and demanded strong action against those responsible.

To a question if such incidents had affected the credibility of the Central Government, she said that the Centre had already sent a team to Gujarat to investigate the matter. ``We are also sending a letter to the Centre urging it to take strong action on this issue''.

The Prime Minister, she said, was seriously trying to ensure that such incidents did not recur. On the possibility of her party joining the Vajpayee Government during the next round of Cabinet expansion, Banerjee said that Trinamool Congress would not join the Ministry.

Trinamool's electoral ally BJP, on the otherhand, said that the party should join the Government to do some work for the State which remained unrepresented during the last nine months.

What did the Trinamool Congress gain in the nine months by staying out of the Government, State BJP chief and the party's lone MP from West Bengal Tapan Sikdar asked.
