Brushing aside allegation by the opposition that she was not regular in the assembly, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday said she always tries to remain in the House when required.
‘Some people say I am not a regular in the house. But I always try to remain present when required. I will show how regular I can be in this session,’ Banerjee told reporters after addressing party MLAs at the TMC legislature party meeting on the opening day of the winter session of the assembly.
Banerjee also said she would try to remain present everyday during this session. ‘If I cannot come to the House any day, my colleages in the government are assigned to reply on my behalf,’ she said.
She asked TMC MLAs to be more sincere, committed and dedicated to the party as well as development programmes initiated by her government for the benefit of the people.
Banerjee reminded the party MLAs to perform in the House and maintain close contact with people ‘as people see the government through the representatives they have elected.’ ‘As representatives of the people, the MLAs must take each and every achievement of the state government to the people who are the real beneficiaries. The members should also showcase development programmes before the people to make them aware of the benefits they can avail,’ she said.
The chief minister also asked her party MLAs to attend the House regularly with adequate preparation so that people’s demands reach the government. Education minister and senior party leader Partha Chatterjee advised the members to be regular with adequate homework. The members should be aware of bills and other business that would be brought in the House for discussion, Chatterjee said.
