Gautam takes on govt over Rajarhat renaming controversy

KOLKATA, 20 OCT: Former state housing minister and CPI-M central committee member, Mr Gautam Deb (photo left), today urged upon chief minister Miss Mamata Banerjee to stop playing narrow politics on naming of Rajarhat-New Town as Jyoti Basu Nagar. He said the Left Front government had published a gazette notification to this effect on 1 October, 2010 and the new government should have known the facts, before making "baseless" comment.
"They are telling the people that there was no gazette notification. The word "New Town" was coined by me as was the name Hidco, which I had given to the implementing authority to boost the marketing prospects of the new township. A visionary like Jyoti Basu had been behind the whole idea of this township, so naming the new city in his name was like paying tribute to a person, to whom even Miss Banerjee regularly went for discussions. 
The confusion created by the present urban development minister about a Bill pending for Governor's assent is about proposals for introduction of tax structure in the township. The LF government had forwarded the Bill to the Assembly's standing committee on the insistence of the then Leader of Opposition, Mr Partha Chatterjee, and finally it was unanimously passed and sent to the Governor for his assent, which has not been done. The present government should clear this confusion. No Bill or Act was needed to re-christen Salt Lake as Bidhannagar, neither Miss Banerjee needed anybody's assent before naming stations and trains in the name of luminaries. These are administrative decisions and can be taken liberally," said Mr Deb while interacting with reporters at the Alimuddin Street, the CPI-M's state headquarters.
Lambasting the Trinamul Congress-led government's move to release land plots acquired earlier for the New Town project, Mr Deb said: "In the name of releasing plots to farmers, the government has already released about 770 acres of land which are spread across Actions Areas 1 to 4 and the central business district (CBD). Allowing pockets of private land in these prime locations will mean unplanned growth of the CBD and will also encourage a section of land sharks and promoters as there is no farmers in the vicinity who will conduct agricultural activity in the middle of a planned city. A rough estimate puts the total profit of these promoters to Rs 4,500 crore and around Rs 15,000 crore on sale of built properties on released land. The entire money will be a direct loss of Hidco."
Mr Deb also criticised Miss Banerjee's government for dissolving the Bhangar-Rajarhat Development Authority and lackadaisical approach towards completion of two roads leading up to New Town from EM Bypass and Ganganagar, respectively.
