She said the ongoing Census was a routine procedure that is carried out every ten years, and asked people not to panic about it. She said that the country had attained freedom and nothing would be done to make people lose it again. \u201cNo one can implement NRC here. I make this promise here,\u201d she said at Birsingha village.<\/p>\n<p>Banerjee reminded people that those who had vandalised the Vidyasagar College premises do not even know who he is. A bust of Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar was broken during a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rally prior to the Lok Sabha elections. The bust was smashed on the floor by some goons who had barged into the college premises.<\/p>\n<p>At the programme today, Banerjee announced the plan for an academy and a research centre. She also said she plans to turn Birsingha village into an education hub and a tourist spot like Santiniketan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee reiterated her firm stance against implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state on Tuesday.
