Big money at play to dislodge Left: Buddhadeb

Ranaghat: West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Saturday said big money was at play to dislodge the ruling Left Front in the assembly polls and "some foreign powers and a few industrialists are play against us".

"Who is funding the huge cost for helicopter and TV advertisements at different channels for TMC? We think some foreign powers and a few industrialists are at play against us," Bhattacharjee said at a public meeting here in Nadia district in support of Left Front candidates.

"But I am sure, the people of Bengal will not bow down to the money power and bring the Left Front back to power," he said.

TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee had taken a whirlwind copter tour in North Bengal to campaign for her candidates last week.
