Excerpts from the Chief Minister`s speech at Barikul in Bankura:
“It is our duty to supply food to poor people. If people get food and have jobs why should they kill? State Govt. has increased price of Kendu leaves from Rs 44 to Rs 75 to help the poor. Small Scale Industry Hubs are being created at Bankura and Bishnupur. The state government wants to give forest rights to tribals which is their birth right. The Central Government should take necessary steps. The tribals have demanded rights over forests where they live. I feel they should have it.
Schools in Purulia and Bankura will receive financial assistance from MPLAD Fund. A primary school would be named after the officer-in-charge of Barikul Police Station Prabal Sengupta, who was killed by Maoists in 2005. 11 Model Schools are being formed in Bankura.
