New Delhi, Nov 3: Claiming that Maoists were behind the land-mine attack on the convoy of West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, the CPI(M) demanded firm action against the ultras."The Maoists have targeted the Chief Minister and have killed a number of CPI(M) cadres and activists in the recent period. Maoists have opposed the setting up of a steel plant at Salboni."Firm action should be taken against these disruptive elements that are inimical to the interests of the people and development of the state," the party Polit Bureau said in a statement.
