I shall strive to ensure that an early Assembly election is held here,” she told newsmen here at her South Kolkata residence.<br /><br />Reiterating that her party would support a secular Government at the Centre, Ms Banerjee said it would be her endeavour to persuade the UPA for the State’s development. “I am not against industry. I want both industry and agriculture. But the CPM wanted to foist its wishes by force. They do not have any vision and want only to create confusion and contradiction,” she said. Rejoicing over her victory, the TMC chief claimed that despite so many brutal killings and the Left’s efforts to stop people from voting, “we have won. I want to dedicate this victory to those who braved the Marxist terror to cast their ballot and those who fell to CPM bullets.” <br /><br />Earlier, the CPM did not allow people to vote.
