Kolkata, May 21 Claiming that her government was being constantly pressurised to change its stand on many issues, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accused "vested interests" and "influential media" of running a malicious campaign against the regime.
"Everyday, we are pressurised to
change our stand on many a thing, or at least revise those. We are
threatened to do so from many quarters. A sustained and concerted campaign
of lies and half-truths to malign us is the name of the game now,"
Banerjee wrote in a book to commemorate her government's one year in
office.
Banerjee, who has written a
four-page prologue of the 182-page "Hope to Reality', goes on to accuse
the media and some vested interests of running a malicious campaign.
"The new-born government has been
subjected to relentless and baseless malice from vested interests and
influential media. A culture of making mountains out of molehills is
holding sway and a chorus of negativity fills the air at every drop of a
hat," said Banerjee.
Banerjee accused her critics of
undermining the government's achievements. "Our detractors seem to
entirely ignore the facts and reality - how precarious the situation is
and how we are making impossible things happen through sheer
determination and hard work."
"The only thing that rules their
judgement is petty, vested interest. If we do not subscribe to those,
which, in most cases, are anti-people, they turn the air blue with
insinuations and declamatory aggression," she said.
