They must prosper andmove ahead in life. We want people to live with dignity with their heads heldhigh. We will not allow bloodshed andviolence. The Opposition must remember their party is not in power anymore. Wewill not allow violence like Singur and Nandigram.
Everything cannot be done at once. We arecarrying out developmental projects in a phased manner. Our job is to maintainpeace and prosperity. We have completed the work of Raidighi stadium. We arepromoting small and medium industries. We are setting up ITIs and polytechniccolleges. We are developing the roads.

We will be conducting Kanyashreefairs on August 14 across the State. We have started an employment bank too.
Our priority is maternal and childhealthcare. We have started Sikkhashreescheme for encouraging tribal students to pursue education. We conductedcoaching classes for 600 students out of whom 500 succeeded in JEE. We havestarted 45 new bus routes for South 24 Parganas district.
