West Bengal: Mamata Banerjee hits back at critics, says her government has done a lot of development works

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday hit back at her critics saying though her government has done a lot of development works, they cannot see it.

Inaugurating a new campus of Aliah University in Kolkata's satellite town New Town-Rajarhat, Banerjee said, "In this Rajarhat we have an Eco park, financial hub, wax museum and now we have universities."

Referring to the second campuses of Presidency University and St Xaviers Autonomous University at Rajarhat, she said they along with Vivek Tirtha modelled on Chicago University are under construction.

"In three years if we could do this much, given few more years imagine how much more we can achieve," she said in a dig at her detractors. "Some have eyes but cannot see, some have ears but cannot hear. "In good work we include all representatives irrespective of their religion," Banerjee said.

Referring to the new campus of the Aliah University, she said it will have hostel facilities for 1,400 male students and 800-900 female students. Aliah University is a state government-controlled minority autonomous varsity in Salt Lake.
