WestBengal CM #MamataBanerjee raises strong objection to Centre discussing the Teesta water sharing agreement with #Bangladesh.
She says on the floor of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, “No representative was present from the WB govt. There is not enough water in the Teesta river to be shared with Bangladesh, people of North Bengal will not have access to drinking water. This was a one-sided decision, I will not let this happen.”
#MamataBanerjee said sharing of #Teesta water will mean depriving north #Bengal of even drinking water, let alone any provision for #irrigation purposes.
West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee said at the state legislative assembly on Monday that, the BJP was trying to divide the state.
She also slammed the BJP alleging that the party was trying to divide Bengal and even proposed a voting on the issue.
“The stand of the BJP is clear. We don’t want West Bengal to be divided or an Union Territory carved out with some districts of West Bengal and Jharkhand. These may be some individual views. The infiltrators need to be identified at the earliest. The BJP after coming to power will bring smile on the faces of the people of North Bengal by meeting their bonafide demands and do away with years of deprivation,” Suvendu Adhikari, BJP legislator told media persons
in Kolkata.
