KOLKATA: The heat of Nandigram and Singur tension is all set to cross the West Bengal borders and flow to the other left-ruled states of Kerala and Tripura.

On one hand, the principal opposition force in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress, has decided to organise rallies with Nandigram and Singur as the central themes in these states in order to mobilise anti-Left forces there on similar grounds.

The CPI(M), on its part, has instructed their party units in Kerala and Tripura to tackle such agitation programmes organisationally. They have been asked to start counter-propaganda on the disruptive and anti-industry political movements by Trinamool Congress in West Bengal.

According to Trinamool MLA and leader of opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Partho Chattopadhyay, his party's main aim is to make the entire country know of the misrule in West Bengal under the leadership of CPI(M) and the state chief minister, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.

"We are conducting hunger rallies in important cities outside the state including the national capital of Delhi. In Kerala and Tripura, we are conducting rallies to caution the farming community that the Left-ruled state governments in these two states might also toe the lines of West Bengal government and indiscriminately acquire fertile land for unduly benefiting the industrialists," he said.

According to the Trinamool supremo, Mamata Banerjee, her party has an additional agenda behind holding such rallies at Kerala and Tripura. "In both these two states there are many individuals who are real communists or socialists by heart. We want to tell them how in West Bengal, CPI(M) has violated communist ideologies and tortured farmers.

That is why I have decided that all these hunger rallies would be conducted under the banner of Save Farmland Committee and not Trinamool Congress. It is not the question of an individual party philosophy. Rather it is question of movement on behalf of the farming community, who are still in majority," she said.

The CPI(M), however, does not want to give much importance to such rallies right at this moment. According to a veteran CPI(M) central committee member, the entire country is aware of the violent and anti-industry activities that Trinamool Congress has been carrying out in Bengal for the last few months.

"I do not think that such rallies will cut any ice among the people of any Indian state, forget Kerala and Tripura. No sensible individual, irrespective of political belief, who realises that industrialisation is the need of the hour, can extend his support to such disruptive activities," he said.
