Ganga Sagar, Oct 31 (KNN) West Bengal is number one in skill development and small scale industries, the state chief minister Mamata Banerjee said after mentioning that the state government inherited a huge debt and yet the Centre took away the revenues.
While addressing a programme here, a pilgrim spot in South 24-Parganas district, Banerjee yesterday said that the state government inherited a huge debt and yet the Centre took away the revenues.
"We are not even getting money for the 100 days work scheme but still we are number one in that. We are proud of it. We are number one in skill development and small scale industries," she said.
Banerjee warned the opposition parties against smear campaigns against the ruling TMC and dared them to fight on development plank.
"We cannot be stopped by smear campaign. My job is to take everybody along. Those who will oppose, will be thrown away," she said at a programme in Ganga Sagar.
"Sarva Dharma Samanyaya is our motto. We work for people irrespective of religions and castes.... Smear campaign and malicious propaganda will not work. People will give a fitting reply," Banerjee said.
She said that the state and the Centre will jointly build a deep sea port at Sagar Island at a cost of Rs 12,000 crore in the next 2-3 years which would give jobs and bring development to the area.
She also assured the people that no land would be taken away from them for the project.
