Kolkata: West Bengal Panchayat Affairs Minister and senior Trinamool Congress leader Subrata Mukherjee is set to carry out an extensive survey in Nandigram in East Midnapore district from February 1.
The decision to conduct a three-day booth-to-booth survey was taken by the ruling formation after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had declared her name as a candidate from Nandigram in the upcoming Assembly polls.
Nandigram is a stronghold of ex-West Bengal Transport Minister Suvendu Adhikari, who joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) last month at a mega rally in the presence of Home Minister Amit Shah.

She calls Centre’s attitude ‘insensitive’ and ‘indifferent’.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Tuesday that she was deeply disturbed by the “worrying and painful developments that have unfolded on the streets of Delhi”.
“The Centre’s insensitive attitude and indifference towards our farmer brothers & sisters have to be blamed for this situation,” the Trinamool Congress chairperson said. “First, these laws were passed without taking farmers into confidence. And then, despite protests across India & farmers camping near Delhi for last 2 months, they’ve been extremely casual in dealing with them. Centre should engage with the farmers & repeal the draconian laws,” she said on social media.

New Delhi:
The opposition today appeared united in blaming the centre for the violence that took place in the national capital during Tuesday s tractor rally, organised by the farmers protesting against the three central agriculture laws. Leaders of several political parties accused the BJP government of not doing enough to resolve the deadlock with farmers. Nobody will support whatever happened today but the reason behind it cannot be ignored either. Those sitting calmly grew angry; the Centre didn t fulfil its responsibility, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

New Delhi: Leaders across the political spectrum on Tuesday condemned the violence in the national capital after farmers protesting against the the three farm laws deviated from pre-decided routes during a tractor march, clashed with the police, broke barricades and stormed the Red Fort, even as the Opposition attacked the Centre for letting the situation deteriorate.
While BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra slammed the violence saying those we had been calling annadata (food-providers) for so many days have turned out to be extremists , the Congress in a guarded reaction said the party and the country is pained by today s violence and unruly incidents in Delhi.
