Mamata snipes at Scindia on Kolkata airport: ‘Not like those who killed farmers'

Published on Feb 08, 2022 03:30 pm IST

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has hit back at Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia after he claimed that the Bengal government was blocking files linked to a second airport plan in Kolkata. Before she embarked on a trip to Uttar Pradesh to support Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, Mamata said, "They need 1,000 acres for another airport in Kolkata. Should I bulldoze existing houses? Shall I evict people residing in those houses? Is it possible? We can't just forcibly evict people. "The minister should not politicise such matters. I will not allow another Singur and Nandigram (evictions) to take place." Watch for more details.
