The opposition National Democratic Alliance
on Tuesday night accused West Bengal's ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist
of declaring a war on Indian state through its policy in Nandigram and charged
the United Progressive Alliance government of "Dhritarashtra-like inaction"
on the issue.
"The CPI-M has declared war not only
on the people of Nandigram, but also on the Indian state. Under the Dhritarashtra-like
impotence of the Sonia-Manmohan dispensation, the CPI-M has declared Nandigram
a no-go area and established a Red Republic accountable to none," Leader
of Opposition Lal Kishanchand Advani said in a statement.
"The CPI-M has now let loose a reign
of terror with their private army comprising history-sheeters," said
Advani who had led a NDA delegation to Nandigram earlier in the day.
"We heard of horrific reports of mothers
being hacked to death before their children for the temerity to participate
in a peace march", he said.
