NEW DELHI: West Bengal CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee made it clear on Monday that his government was ���not dumping������ its industrial policy and was, in fact, moving ahead with it. Even the controversial Singur land is being re-developed for industry, he said.
���Without industry where will jobs come from?������ Bhattacharjee asked, but went on to say that ���our policy is that industry and agriculture should both flourish.������
���How can I drop my own industrial policy?������ the CM asked while replying to reporters on whether his government had dumped it after the Singur episode. ���We are trying to evolve a consensus,������ he said.
Naming a few projects that are in the pipeline, Bhattacharjee said, ���Videocon is coming up in north Bengal... (Venugopal) Dhoot is coming to meet me. Jindal power plant (in Bankura) is also happening... it is a part of their steel project.������
