Earlier, Bhattacharya visited Ashoknagar’s ONGC oilfield in North 24 Parganas. He told reporters India’s petroleum minister had sent 19 letters to the state’s former chief minister regarding Petroleum Mining Leases required for extraction, but received no cooperation.
Highlighting natural gas exploration in Ranaghat and offshore oil exploration in Bay of Bengal, Bhattacharya said, “Political vendetta had compromised the country’s energy security for so long. He posted on X about pursuing the project relentlessly over four years by raising it in Parliament and meeting ONGC officials to ensure Bengal’s resources benefit its people. Calling for faster progress, he alleged the previous state govt had not cooperated with the project. Once this project becomes fully operational, it will further strengthen the country’s energy security.”
