Buddha gets cyber-savvy, launches website

Now, logon to ask questions to Bengal CM

PTI | April 7, 2011



Catching up with the cyber campaign trend in the Assembly polls this time, West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee has launched a website called www.buddhadebbhattacharjee.net, on which he will address the queries of the public.

Anyone can log on to the website and pose a question which will be answered by the chief minister.

CPI(M) sources said the questioner can get a first hand information about the chief minister's initiatives for the overall development in the state.

With the click of a mouse, one can get a view of Bhattacharjee's life, access videoclips of his speeches at various rallies and meetings and also browse through other related images.

Some of the important letters written by the chief minister to the Prime Minister and some other dignitaries can be accessed through the site as well.

The net surfers can get an idea of Bhattacharjee as a poet, dramatist, literary critic as well.

"This website has tried to project various facets of Buddhadev's personality through a compilation of his writings," the sources said.
