Amid a row over land for the second airport in Kolkata, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia should not indulge in politics over the issue.

"They need 1,000 acres of land for another airport in Kolkata. Can I bulldoze existing houses? We cannot just evict people. The Union Civil Aviation Minister should not do politics. I am not like them who killed farmers. I will not let another Singur and Nandigram happen."
