West Bengal Health Minister Suryakanta Mishra has claimed that nearly 300 Left activists, mostly CPI(M) cadres, have been killed in West Bengal in the acts of violence by the ‘Maoist-Trinamool Congress alliance' in the past two years.
At a meeting organised here on Sunday by the Ernakulam district unit of the CPI(M) to rally support for the West Bengal CPI(M) in their resistance to the ‘Maoist-TMC onslaught,' Mr. Mishra said the majority of the people killed were very poor. He said the Union Railway Minister's party was colluding with the Maoists in their violent acts with a view to unseating the CPI(M)-led Left government.
Though the Prime Minister had said that Maoist violence was the biggest internal security threat, the Centre continued to back the TMC as the UPA's continuance in government relied on the TMC support. He alleged that a massive campaign of lies was being carried on against the Left government with the help of the `three Ms' (money from the mines, muscle power and the media.)
He also said that the Left government, which was in its seventh successive term, had allotted 11 lakh acres of land to the landless poor, most of whom were SC, ST and minority people.
