Bengal CM shown black flag

West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee was today shown black flags by women activists of Trinamool Congress when he was arriving at Salt Lake stadium to lay the foundation stone of East-West Metro Railway.


Members of the women's wing of Bidhannagar Block Trinamool Congress waved black flags as they chanted "Go Back Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee" when his convoy was entering the stadium.


The activists alleged that the foundation stone laying programme was a ploy to woo voters ahead of parliamentary election. External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Swadesh Chakraborty, MP Howrah, are attending the programme.


Union Urban Development Minister Jaipal Reddy could not attend the programme due to ill health. East-West Metro will run below the Hooghly river to connect Kolkata's IT hub of Salt Lake with Dankuni near Singur.
