West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said her government had no objection to provide land for border fencing but maintained that the Centre should first complete the pending work on the plots provided to various agencies, and roll back its “arbitrary” decision to expand the BSF’s jurisdiction in the state from 15 km to 50 km before seeking additional land.Speaking in the Assembly during a discussion on the Governor’s address, Banerjee rejected allegations by the Centre and the BJP that the state government was obstructing border fencing, and asserted that land had already been provided to all central organisations and agencies, including the BSF.She claimed the BJP’s tally in the Assembly polls will go down further, and many saffron party MLAs present in the house will not win elections in April this year.“We have given land for many projects. First tell us how much work has been completed. We have given land to BSF as well. Finish the work first,” the CM said.“Land will not be a problem. You will get land. But first, change the arbitrary rule increasing BSF’s jurisdiction from 15 km to 50 km. Locals in bordering areas are being tortured,” she said, reiterating her government’s commitment to national security.The remarks came amid a war of words between the Centre and the TMC-led state government over “delay” in fencing, alleged illegal migration and the management of West Bengal’s porous border with Bangladesh.
