Mamata seeks Centre’s intervention
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday suggested that the Central government intervene in West Bengal in order to protect the interests of farmers.
Ms. Banerjee, who met Congress president Sonia Gandhi here, told journalists that the Centre could not remain silent and that the State government could not unilaterally reject an agreement reached in the presence of the Governor.
“There is a constitutional sanctity to it [the agreement]…it is better to use Article 355 against the State government, she said stating she had given copies of all relevant documents to Ms. Gandhi.
To a question, Ms. Banerjee said while her party was not against industries, it wants both industry and agriculture growing together, instead of one growing at the cost of the other.
The Trinamool leader said Ms. Gandhi gave her a patient hearing and told her that she too was sympathetic to the cause of agricultural labour.
