He said so many industrial summits have been held under the TMC government but no worthwhile investment has been made.
Senior BJP leader Mukul Roy slammed chief minister Mamata Banerjee for making “absurd” claim that lakhs of people are getting jobs in West Bengal. “Nothing can be far from the truth as lakhs of people have been going out of the state in search of job latest example being the laborers from Murshidabad who went to Kashmir to earn livelihood but were killed by the terrorists,” said Roy.
He said so many industrial summits have been held under the TMC government but no worthwhile investment has been made. “We demand a white paper on investment coming after such industrial summit, which will expose Miss Banerjee’s false claim. Every year the state government would announce huge investment proposal but at the end it would be found that no such project proposal has been materialised.” he said.

He said that in reality, despite government organised huge global business summit by spending large number of government exchequer, and Miss Banerjee’s tall claims, investment trickled down to big zero, much to the embarrassment of the government. “Law and order situation are deteriorating in the state. TMC backed goons even are terrorising small investors everywhere and running syndicate raj. How industrials would take risk to invest here. TMC and Miss Banerjee are running anarchy here. After all, the need of the hour was to assure the investors of political stability and peaceful situation in Bengal,” Roy said.

For the last two years, chief minister Mamata Banerjee had an impressive line-up of investors such as Mukesh Ambani, Lakshmi Ratan Mittal, Sajjan Jindal and others. At the concluding ceremony this year, Miss Banerjee had also announced the sixth edition requesting the corporate bigwigs to be present at the next summit. With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) breathing down her neck and law and order situation deteriorating in the state, the chief minister has thought it prudent to put such summits on a back burner.
Yesterday, BJP state president and MP Dilip Ghosh condemned chief minister’s “attempt to politicise” the killing of five laborers from Bengal in Kashmir by terrorists. He said that thousands of innocent people have become victim of terror in Kashmir and labourers from West Bengal are unfortunate as the other victims. “There can’t be any politics over such killings but Miss Banerjee is doing exactly that while she has herself failed to stop terror unleashed by her own party activists in the state,” he said.
