Kolkata, Aug 21 - Two industrialists - Pawan Kumar Ruia and cricket czar Jagmohan Dalmiya - were Friday pulled up by Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee for failing to execute projects.

Banerjee, participating in an interaction with industrial chambers here, criticised the Ruia Group chairman for not delivering orders for railway rakes on time and asked him about the status of his closed Dunlop factory at Shahgunj in West Bengal.

'What are your plans with your Shahgunj factories? Will you open the entire factory at all? Or are you selling the surplus land within the factory premises?' she asked.

Ruia was at a loss for words before the deluge of questions, and could only mumble: 'There are necessary issues for the company. Look...matters are being sorted out.'

But Banerjee continued. 'Just see, he is not delivering despite being given orders. Why don't you carry out the orders?'

In the same vein, Banerjee asked him: 'Have you closed Jessop?'

'When did I close it?' Ruia said.

Ruia owns heavy engineering and infrastructure firm Jessop & Company that manufactures railway rakes.
