'If necessary I am ready to have a dialogue with the opposition leaders of my state on the issue,' Deb said.

The spa resort at Rajarhat has been in the news after a part of it was set afire Aug 23 by a mob incensed over some miscreants taking shelter in its premises after killing one person.

The miscreants, including local tough Gabbar, had hurled bombs and fired ndiscriminately after their team lost a game in a soccer tournament. A youth was killed in the violence.

A day later, police recovered a cache of arms and bomb-making material from inside the 1,600-acre project area of promoters Vedic Realty, the holding company of the Vedic Village.

The controversy has escalated over the last few days with questions being raised of involvement of state ministers and opposition leaders in illegal land deals which allegedly benefited the Vedic owners.

Vedic Realty managing director Raj Kishore Modi and project manager Biplab Biswas have already been arrested.
