Calcutta, April 1: %u201CNandigram%u201D has become a tool to grab land in Calcutta. If you are not a Trinamul Congress voter, just grin and bear it.
Trinamul supporters have seized seven cottahs belonging to a 62-year-old woman, Lolita Lekha nee Majumdar. At the current market price, the land will fetch Rs 1.05 crore.
The land grab has the blessings of an MLA and the endorsement of another %u2014 both representing a party that fed on the movement in Nandigram against forcible acquisition.
Lolita, who shuttles between Calcutta and Mexico, was driven out of her ancestral property on 130 A Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Road, near Ranikuthi, last month. The land borders a club, Netaji Jatiya Sebadal, run by Trinamul.
%u201CThey became violent and threatened to kill me if I ever visited the area to claim my property. About 200 people led by MLA Arup Biswas gathered on the spot and misbehaved with me. Some of them spat on my face and I had no option but to return,%u201D Lolita told The Telegraph. %u201CThey also said that they would turn the area into a Nandigram if I tried to take possession of my land.%u201D
The violent response appeared standard procedure. On Tuesday, over a hundred youths, mostly Trinamul supporters, surrounded The Telegraph team and snatched the camera from the photographer and mouthed invectives.
