Election agenda: Left front government had announced a project worth Rs 8,000 crore.
The proposed Rs 8,000 crore 1,320 MW Katwa Thermal Power Project was conceived by the Left government. The project made some progress and in 2010, NTPC had signed power purchase agreements with some states, including West Bengal, to sell power produced from the Katwa project. One year later in 2011, Trinamool Congress came to power. Due to fear of land acquisition, the project remained stuck till February 2014. The Government of West Bengal allotted another 96 acres (38.8 ha) of land for the proposed plant. Even after more than six years, no progress has been made and the thermal power plant has not yet been built. The land giver received compensation amount. But most of the people are waiting for this project. This would provide employment opportunities to people.
