Medinipur MP June Maliah and Ghatal MP Dev, both of whom are claimed to have switched to the rebel TMC camp in the Lok Sabha, attended the administrative meeting held by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari in Purba Medinipur district.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Dev said, “As always, Dev has vouched for the politics of keeping people united, the politics of loving people and whichever party it may be or its inclination, I have always respected them.”
Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Tuesday said West Bengal was lagging behind others in implementing various Central schemes, asserting that politics can be done during the elections, but development work should get priority the rest of the time.
The chief minister said the 'Ghatal masterplan' will be implemented to alleviate annual flood-related problems caused by the Damodar river in the Ghatal block of Paschim Medinipur district.
On completing one month in office, Adhikari said that although it is a very short time to assess the BJP government's work, his administration has managed to break the deadlock and move forward in several matters which were pending for a long time during the previous Mamata Banerjee dispensation.
