Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday alleged that the State government and Adani Group played along knowing well that a deep sea port at Tajpur was not feasible.
“Adanis were never interested in building the Tajpur Port. Mamata Banerjee knew it very well. But both played along ! Why?,” the BJP leader said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
The remarks by the BJP leader came a day after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee called industrialists to bid for tender for the deep sea port raising questions on Adani Group’s involvement in the project. A letter of intent for the project was issued to Adani Group in October 2022.
