CBI and ED used to scare businessmen, Mamata slams Centre from Business & Industry conclave

At the bustling Business & Industry conclave in Kolkata's Dhana Dhanya Auditorium today, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee showcased her state's growing industrial strength while sharply criticizing the central government for trying to scare away investors. She accused federal agencies like the CBI and ED of being used as tools to create fear among business owners, making it hard for them to operate freely. Mamata emphasized that despite such obstacles, Bengal is attracting investments and boosting jobs, proving its business-friendly environment.

The Chief Minister pointed out that false rumors are being spread about Bengal lacking industrial potential, but she countered this by highlighting successes since her government took power. From hosting annual global business summits to bringing in foreign investments, the state has focused on development and employment. Mamata claimed Bengal does things no one else can and predicted it will one day lead the world, urging businesses to ignore the negativity and trust in the state's progress.

Opposition parties often question Bengal's job creation and industrial growth, but Mamata used the platform to share facts about rising revenues and new opportunities. She reassured attendees that her government stands firmly with businesses, vowing to overcome any central barriers to ensure Bengal's economic rise continues strong.
