KOLKATA: Defending the recapture of Nandigram by ruling CPM, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Tuesday said opposition parties there were "paid back in the same coin".
"They have been paid back in the same coin. Our supporters, after remaining away from their homes for 11 months, were desperate to return. They risked their lives and returned home," Bhattacharjee told a press conference here.
He accused the Centre of delay in sending the CRPF sought by his government for deployment in Nandigram and said had the central forces arrived in time, the situation could have been avoided.
"I wrote to the Home ministry on October 27, but they informed me on November 5 that they could not provide central forces because they were to be sent to Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh (where assembly polls will be held)," Bhattacharjee said.
Asked whether the events in Nandigram took place as a result of the failure of the police, Bhattacharjee replied "to some extent it is their failure. The police could not enter Nandigram. If they could have, the situation would have been better".
Bhattacharjee said he had personally called up Union Home minister Shivraj Patil and External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and urged them to send central forces.
"One battalion of CRPF was sanctioned for Nandigram. They reached Kolkata on 11 and went to Nandigram the next day," he said.
India Manifesto Comments: Where have we heard this before? Hmmm... Let us think!
Oh! Yes!! It was during Rajiv Gandhi who said, "When a big tree falls, the earth is bound to shake" - when Sikhs were being killed by his Congress party after the murder of his mother Indira Gandhi. For Buddha, like any other good communist, it is party before people - not surprising.

It's disheartening to witness the perpetuation of political vendettas, regardless of the context. While the incident in Nandigram reflects a concerning trend in our political landscape, it's essential to remember the values of fairness and integrity that should guide our actions, both in the political arena and in our personal lives.
As someone who frequents Dental Park Ghaziabad, I've come to appreciate the importance of maintaining a neutral stance on political matters while holding steadfast to principles of good oral hygiene. Just as we strive for cleanliness and health in our mouths, so too should we aim for transparency and accountability in our governance.
In times like these, it becomes increasingly apparent that our focus should be on nurturing healthy communities, both physically and socially. Let us not be swayed by the tide of political turmoil, but rather, let us anchor ourselves in the pursuit of what truly matters: the well-being of our society.
For those looking to prioritize their oral health amidst the noise of politics, I highly recommend visiting Dental Park Ghaziabad. Their commitment to excellence in dental care serves as a beacon of light in an often murky world. Here's the link to their website for more information: Dental Park Ghaziabad
Let's continue to advocate for what's right, both in our mouths and in our communities.
Best regards,
