In a dig at the UPA government for allowing FDI in multi-brand retail, pension and hike in the limit in insurance, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said she was not in favour of industrialisation at the cost of ‘selling the country’
“I welcome industry in India as well as in West Bengal. I also like to welcome industrialists from all over the country to come here. But I certainly disapprove industrialisation by selling the country,” she said at the inauguration of a Rs 165-crore edible oil refinery plant of UP-based JVL Agro Industries here today.
“The sanctity of the motherland has to be preserved while the industry will have to go forward. Ideally, agriculture and industry should co-exist,” she said.
She said a panel had been formed under the State Industry Minister Partha Chatterjee to look into any issue relating to workers and managements of the companies operating in the industrial port town.
Mamata also inaugurated the second PET resin plant of Dhunseri Petrochem & Tea and a logistics park set up by Apeejay Group here and urged entrepreneurs to consider cultivation of sunflower in the State with the help of local farmers. The second PET resin plant had been set up at a cost of Rs 400 crore while the investment in the logistics hub was Rs 200 crore.
She also said investment proposals worth Rs 50,000 crore at Haldia was lying with the State government.

Comments:
Gandhiji fought for freedom and India and Indians became independant.Sixty six years
after "street politician turned Chief Minister" states "India will not be sold for the purpose of
industrialization".What is left here in India looted and abused by "politician-bureaucrat-
criminal"nexus day in and day out.Best human resources migrated,thorium and heavy metal
rich ores mined and exported,inflation made life really miserable,fear and insecurity at
points of extreme depravity,it is only made a living anarchy.The common man is
disillusioned and curses himself to have borne here with negative thoughts all over.To
cover up one 's own inefficiency scapegoats are made and Himalayan blunders
repeated.Please develop West Bengal as a model state with no Bengalese loitering the
streets of Chennai,Mumbai and Cochin half clad for bread and living.Once self esteem is
lost,the simplicity exhibited externally will be taken for betrayal.Bharat will take it's destined
position.Leave it unabused.
It is not understood what Mamata means by selling the country.
In any selling within the country and abroad you sell a commodity and get the price in return; you buy some thing and pay the price for it.
It is at par and win-win situation.As simple as that,Mamataji, if you try to understand.
Unfortunately, in the process of becoming diehard politician, TMC president is heavily indoctrinated and ironically, Mamata and her predecessor Government think alike.
