What do you have to say about the controversy over Biswa Bangla logo?
It is a crime to claim a government logo. Abhishek should be prosecuted.
Does the government need a logo to promote a brand?
First of all, the government is not a private entity that it would require a brand. We were in the government for so long. I was chairman of an infrastructure corporation. I never thought of promoting a logo or a brand. Creating a logo and forcing the government to accept that logo as government logo itself is unethical. And then your nephew went a step further and is claiming it for his own business. Can you imagine this? Is this the Bengal we left? Only Mamata Banerjee can do that.
Perhaps it is helping industries in Bengal.
Forget businessmen or industrialists. They are fed up with her. When we were in power, we did not have to do a lot of fashionable things in the name of industries. When we decided to industrialise Bengal we went fast about it. Industries started coming. But then roadblocks came up. But in Mamata's case, she is not consistent. She often changes her stand. Some businessmen told me that they feel bad that such a person was chief minister of Bengal.
But industrialists meet her regularly.
Yes. She tried to get close to business groups. But that is not helping the state.
You are fighting a legal battle with Abhishek Banerjee.
Yes. I questioned with documents that Abhishek ran a company called Leaps and Bounds without any government permission. I had valid documents collected from various sources. I produced all of them in court. Now he is dragging it as he knows that he would lose.
