Buddhadev Bhattacharya's Government came under heavy criticism for police action against demonstrators in Nandigram. He was criticized not only by opposition parties (such as the Trinamool Congress) and other Left Front coalition allies like CPI, RSP and Forward Bloc, who threatened to back out from the ministry on this issue, but also by his mentor and the state's former chief minister, Jyoti Basu. On March 15, 2007 Basu criticized Bhattacharya for failing to restrain the police in Nandigram.[2] Bhattacharya has expressed regret for the shootings, but and claimed that his intention in permitting police action was to because Nandigram was an "area where there had been no rule of law and no presence of an administration for not one, two or 10 days but for two-and-a-half months."[3]. The CPI(M) has declared that they are totally behind Bhattacharya and have drawn up "plans" to placate his critics in the Left Front.[4] ata]].
