WB govt has not rejected Wipro, Infy projects: CPM

Kolkata, Sep 16: The West Bengal government on Wednesday, Sep 16 said it has not rejected proposals of Wipro and Infosys for setting up units near the state capital.

"The government had only scrapped the IT park which was to come up near the controversial Vedic Village resort," Left Front chairman Biman Bose told reporters after a LF meeting here.

Chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee told the meeting that the proposals of Wipro and Infosys had not been rejected, Bose said.

Earlier, Apr 2008, the state government had inked two MoUs-- one each with Infosys and Wipro--for setting up IT facilities, for which they had sought 90 acre each.
