KOLKATA: Amid the insider-outsider debate, chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said that industrialists who originally hailed from other states are an integral part of West Bengal and the government will continue to offer all-round support to help them thrive.
The chief minister's assurance given at a meeting with the state's industrialists, most of whom are Marwaris and Gujaratis, is being seen as a move intended to ensure that no wrong message is conveyed to these communities.
Banerjee, also the Trinamool Congress supremo, and other leaders of her party have often accused the BJP of bringing in "outsiders" - leaders from outside the state - to West Bengal ahead of the assembly elections due in April-May this year.
