Centre’s stand on Telangana has impacted north Bengal: Buddhadeb
January 3rd, 2010 - 10:38 pm ICT by IANS ( 2 comments )
Kolkata, Jan 3 (IANS) West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee Sunday criticised the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government’s stand on Telangana issue, saying its decision had impacted the law and order situation in the northern parts of the state.
“The centre’s decision to announce a separate statehood status for Telangana has fuelled fresh agitation in parts of north Bengal as separatist elements such as Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) and some other groups in the terai have started demanding for similar status in the region,” Bhattacharjee said at an occasion of celebrating the 44th year of Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)’s Bengali mouthpiece daily Ganashakti.
“The centre’s decision on Telangana has impacted the law and order situation in our state as well.”
On Union Home Minister P.Chidambaram’s letter to the state government, Bhattacharjee said he had sent his reply.
According to sources, Chidambaram had, in the letter in last week of December, asked the chief minister to control the incidents of political violence which are going unabated all across the state.
“The opposition Trinamool Congress are hand in glove with the Maoists and they have also joined hands with the separatist elements in north Bengal to destabilise the law and order mechanism of the state,” the chief minister claimed.

How much did Buddadeb get paid by Andhra lobbyists is the real question. His complaint that N. Bengal is asking for separate state because Telangana was approved by UPA sounds quite ridiculous as there are many other states with no such complaints. Either he got paid by Andhra lobbyists or he doesn’t really care about the well being of those people.
