TMC divided communities for political gains says Suvendu promises industrial land bank in Bankura

    Bankura, Nov 12 (PTI) West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday accused the previous TMC government of deliberately creating divisions among different communities and social groups to serve its political interests.

    Addressing a programme here, Adhikari alleged that the earlier regime had sought to create divisions among Bengalis and non-Bengalis, Kurmis and Adivasis, and the Matuas and non-Matuas.

    "The TMC government deliberately created divisions and conflicts between different communities and social groups. Its only objective was to divide people for political gains," he claimed.

    The chief minister said his government would instead focus on development, industrialisation and employment generation in the region.

    "We will prepare a land bank in Bankura to facilitate the setting up of industries. We will also provide skill development training to the youth of the district to improve their employment opportunities," he said.

    Adhikari said the government's focus would be on creating avenues for economic growth and ensuring better opportunities for young people in the region.
