Battle of Bengal: Why This Nandigram Village Puts All Their Faith in Mamata Banerjee

हालिया इतिहास में भूमि आंदोलन का गवाह रहा नंदीग्राम अब बंगाल की राजनीति का केंद्र बिंदु बन रहा है। मौजूदा मुख्यमंत्री ममता बैनर्जी और पूर्व टीएससी नेता सुवेंदु अधिकारी के बीच टकराव की वजह से राष्ट्रीय मीडिया के लिये ये इलाक़ा चुनावी अखाड़ा बन गया है। लेकिन नेताओं के चुनाव प्रचार से दूर आम वोटर क्या चाहता है ?

‘द वायर’ की टीम नंदीग्राम के एक ऐसे इंटीरियर गाँव में पहुँची जहां राष्ट्रीय मीडिया कभी नहीं पहुँचा।
क्या केंद्र की योजनाओं का लाभ इन गाँववासियों को मिला ? क्या वो ममता बैनर्जी को दोबारा चुनना चाहते हैं ?

Nandigram, witness to a fierce land rights movement in recent history, is now becoming the focal point of Bengal politics. This area has become an election arena for the national media due to the confrontation between the current Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and former Trinamool leader Suvendu Adhikari. But what does the general voter want?

The Wire's team visited an interior village in Nandigram to ask if the villagers have benefited from the schemes of the Center. Do they want to elect Mamata Banerjee again?
