While Maharashtra attracted ₹7.88 lakh crore in FDI during this period, Bengal received just ₹16,409 crore.The BJP formed its first government in West Bengal in May this year, after the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress ruled the state for 15 years.

The Tata Group is developing such facilities in Assam and Gujarat.Meanwhile, a senior functionary close to the chief minister claimed that the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) legislation is likely to be passed next month..
