Another issue where Banerjee ruled out any compromise was the vexed land-for-industry debate. "I will not change the policy just to benefit a few people. I have come to a decision after carefully considering who this would benefit, Bengal's poor or some vested interests. I will not deviate from the Trinamool pre-poll manifesto," she said, striving to hold on to her friends-of-the-poor image and making it abundantly clear that being pro-poor, for her, was much more important than being pro-industry.
