<b>The tragic development in Nandigram village of West Bengal had its reverberations in far off Andhra Pradesh where the CPI(M) was making determined efforts for quite some time to win the confidence and support of Muslims. The killing of 14 persons in the indiscriminate police firing has also left the TDP, the new found ally of the CPI(M), highly embarrassed. TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu expressed his dismay and shock over the incident. </b>Â Â
He told the media that such reprehensible incidents were taking place because of the wrong policies of the Government on the issue of Special Economic Zones. He warned the Congress Government in Andhra Pradesh against following in the footsteps of West Bengal Government by forcibly taking over thousands of acres of land from the farmers and handing it over to big industrialists and rich individuals.
Referring to his visit to Nadargul village of Ranga Reddy district, where the land of the poor farmers was being forcibly taken over, Naidu said that instead of being ashamed of this scam, the Congress had issued him a legal notice.
<b>Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, which was facing an onslaught by the CPI(M) in its fortress in Hyderabad for the past many months, has gone on offensive over the issue of Nandigram. "The firing by the police on unarmed protesters and the massacre of Muslims and other people has exposed the anti-Muslim face of the Communist Government of West Bengal," said MIM floor leader in the State Assembly Akbaruddin Owaisi. </b>
He alleged that the entire operation was carried out by the police and the CPI(M) cadre at the behest of the CPI(M) leadership to forcibly snatch away the land of the poor farmers.
He demanded that the CPI(M) led Government in West Bengal should be dismissed forthwith. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
