Mamata condoles Siddhartha's death, flays harassment by Centre


Kolkata, Jul 31 (IANS): Condoling the death of Cafe Coffee Day Enterprises' founding Chairman V.G. Siddhartha, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said the central government must ensure that political vendetta and agencies did not demoralise industrialists and hamper nation's progress.

"I am deeply shocked by the incident relating to V.G. Siddhartha, Cafe Coffee Day founder. It is indeed very sad and very unfortunate. From what he has expressed, it appears he was greatly depressed due to harassment and pressure from different agencies for which he could not run his business in a peaceful manner. This he could not resist," Banerjee wrote on Facebook.

The CM said she had heard that the captains of industries were under pressure; some of them had left the country and some were contemplating to move out.

Banerjee wrote: "My appeal to the government is that when you have been elected, you have to work in a peaceful manner so that people are confident and that political vendetta and agencies don't destroy the future of the country".

She expressed her deep condolence to the family members of V.G.Siddhartha.

    It's a tough time ahead for businesses and entrepreneurs as there is a serious economic slow down. It may not seem on paper but it's everywhere. There is a cash / liquidity crunch, there is too much competition, supply is more than the demand. Probably a recessionary trend. Coffee day is another example.

    Good job by CM Mamata. The state Congress and even DK congress should immediately hold a massive solidarity march protesting against unfriendly Govt reforms that drove CCD Siddharthas demise before its forgotten in 3 days. Please Mithun Rai are you listening?? They are planning one in Delhi.

    BJP is a 'Haftha Wasool' party through its various govt agencies. Business community is either going bankrupt or businesses are closing and leaving the country. BJP swindling money by threats, muscle power, ruling power and illegal means but outward show is very clean and honest with hallo around every minister's head.
