00:00The Civil Aviation Department, on behalf of the country,
00:06has included the Kolkata Airport.
00:11There is no problem with the connectivity of the Kolkata Airport
00:17with the European countries or other important countries' capitals or cities.
00:24Secondly, when the Indian government signed the Open Sky Agreement in 2022,
00:31under the leadership of Honorable Narendra Modi,
00:35six metro cities were included, including Kolkata Airport.
00:42Why is there no international flight coming here?
00:47Honorable Minister Arup Das has beautifully explained the reasons.
00:53There is no economical viability.
00:57It takes a lot of money to board a European flight or a business class flight.
01:03This is not possible in the business of a person who earns Rs 1,000
01:08and a casual worker who earns Rs 12,000.
01:12There is no per capita income, employment, industrial education,
01:19and business-friendly environment in West Bengal.
01:23So there is no direct flight from West Bengal to Europe or abroad with Kolkata Airport.
01:32There are three criteria for running this connectivity or any airline authority.
01:42The first criteria is the possible number of passengers.
01:50The second criteria is the slot allotment, i.e., the space and running of the airport.
01:58The third criteria is the economical viability of the route.
02:03The economic viability of the route, i.e., whether it is sustainable or not.
02:09You can't create the viability of a company that doesn't want to spend money on energy.
02:20Tata is the biggest player in India for airlines.
02:29You can't hold Tata's hand and hold a meeting.
02:33The Chief Minister holds so many meetings.
02:36The Chief Secretary is so brave.
02:39The International Airlines Organization and Tata,
02:43who are the big players in India,
02:46can't hold a meeting and agree with them.
02:49The Indian government won't need any additional concurrence.
02:54We have said that the airport in Kolkata is closed.
02:58There are Muslim leaders like Siddiqullah Chowdhury in your party.
03:04With their help, Kolkata Airport has a religious facility and a middle ground.
03:13For these two reasons, the airport is closed.
03:17With the help of Siddiqullah Chowdhury, if the Chief Minister resolves the problem,
03:24the number of passengers in Kolkata Airport will increase.
03:28Its boundary wall can be completed.
03:31It can be a prosperous airport.
03:34With the help of domestic and international flights,
03:38you can increase the number of passengers.
03:41You can do all these things.
03:44We have said that in 2022, the Indian government wrote a letter to Pariban Sachiv
03:51about the Malda Airport.
03:54You responded to that letter.
03:57In Balur Ghat Airport, you were not able to participate in the first bidding.
04:02You didn't participate in the second bidding.
04:05You laughed and ran away.
04:08You have a land of 37 acres and a land of 38 acres.
04:13You have been asked to run normal domestic or commercial airlines at Army Airport.
04:26You didn't run the flights.
04:29You didn't sponsor the land.
04:32In Baghdad Airport, you can't give land for commercial areas.
04:37That's why the last flight from Baghdad to Kolkata was the 6th or 20th.
04:42Baghdad is the most sound and financially profit-making airport of our country.
04:52Naturally, you can't start a new fight in Kozhbihar.
05:01The Indian government has kept Kozhbihar, Malda, Balur Ghat, Andal, and Durgapur
05:09in the Civil Aviation Department's flight scheme.
05:16That's why the government has taken a lot of advantage of today's resolution.
05:22We have been able to get rid of the corruption of the government.
05:33This is unfortunate.
05:35All the parliaments in India and all the committees in India are live.
05:41It's not live here.
05:43The Chief Minister has been saying a lot of things.
05:49That's why the business is live.
05:51The house belongs to the opposition.
05:54We don't want to see any political influence here.
06:01That's why we are here today.
06:05We are here for a positive, progressive, and development-oriented West Bengal.
06:19We don't want to see any politics here.
06:22Before this, they tried to blame us for the West Bengal issue.
06:27We have unitedly said that we are not on the side of the West Bengal issue.
06:34We are on the side of the development of the undivided Bengal.
06:37Similarly, the international fight will start from the Andal airport in Bagdogra, Kolkata.
06:44Go to Europe.
06:46All of us from Europe should come here.
06:49We want it.
06:50Don't try to do politics here.
06:53You are the ones who are doing politics.
06:55You are the undivided government.
06:57You are the unemployed government.
06:59And you are the ones who are supporting a special community for development.
07:08You are the ones who have kept it here.
07:10The Indian government has no role here.
