Swraj Paul happy with Singur project

“West Bengal has to move ahead with industrialisation. There is no other option. Look at China, how they have developed through industrialisation,” he added.

Paul said the project would create a lot of job opportunities which would benefit the locals. “Not only the people of Singur but their children also will benefit from the project. They should not let go this great opportunity,” he said.

Paul also met Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee at Writers’ Building today. Speaking to newspersons after the meeting, he said the hour-long discussion revolved around issues like industry and commerce as well as education, culture and terrorism.

“We are very impressed with West Bengal. Its growth is third highest in India. It gives us confidence,” he said. Asked if he had received any communication from the Trinamool Congress or its chief Mamata Banerjee on a possible meeting, Paul said no such proposal has been made to him.
