Stating that factories and roads could not be built in the skies, Mukherjee said that land was required for this, for which the state government should share the roadmap prepared by the industry and commerce department with all responsible members of society.
Speaking at the annual general meeting of Merchants’ Chamber of Commerce here, Mukherjee said, “We must follow this path.” Mukherjee’s statements assume significance in the light of recent setbacks received by the CPI(M) in panchayat polls in Nandigram and Singur where land acquisition has emerged as a burning issue.
“After our experience in Singur and Nandigram, we must be careful and come out with a proper rehabilitation package,” Bhattacharjee said. PTI

Pranab has been long cherishing a dream of becoming the next Prime Minister of India. Trying to please his community and chamchagiring Sonia gandhi. But his face off on the Gorkhaland issue has proved that he is incompetent. His chances are very remote now.
JTM said
Come August 20, mamata bannerjee is planning a sitiin protest on Singur. And that she will forcibly take back the 400 acres land if not returned so by the govt. maybe we should also forcibly take back our land from Bdeshi squatters. If mamta can do it why cant others.
Pradip said
Dear JTM,
Because you yourselves are bideshi squatter. You took away this land from Lepchas & Bhutias by your sheer breeding skill.
JTM said
Hello hello Bhutias came from Tibet or Bhot as it is also called. And we liberated the Lepchas from extinction. What good have you’ll done?
JTM said
And we mingled like milk and sugar. You’ll have added chilly powder
Bishal Lama said
Dear JTM ahile bhote lapche ko kura nagaru sathi, we are all Gorkhas fighting for our state nabha pheri the discussion will take an ugly U turn!
JTM said
True
Pradip said
You liberated Lepchas! huh! That’s why the King of Sikkim took help from British to liberate their land from you Gorkhas.
Nevertheless, does your status as illegal squattars from Nepal changed by mixing like milk & sugar.
YK Shrestha said

JTM said
What was the ethnic bloodline of the King of Sikkim then?
