KOLKATA: Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee is about to revive her duel with the Tatas over the Nano venture in Singur. In the afterglow of her party���s emphatic victory in all the zilla parishad seats in Singur, a visibly charged Trinamool Congress chief asserted on Wednesday: ���It is high time the Tatas wind up their car project in Singur. People of Singur have given a clear verdict towards our fight against the forcible land acquisition in Singur.���
When contacted, a Tata Motors spokesperson said: ���We will offer no comments.���
Local Trinamool Congress leader Becharam Manna, who also won a gram panchayat seat from Singur, said: ���The party would mobilise supporters against the Left Front government���s decision to allow the Tatas to set up their factory on land which was acquired forcibly���.
Singur is now an absolute Trinamool Congress bastion as the assembly constituency belongs to the party and after Wednesday���s poll results, all three seats in the zilla parishad from Singur were won by it. There is no doubt that the ruling CPM is on the threshold of another Trinamool backlash that could come in the way of the scheduled November rollout of the Tata Nano from Singur.
CPM central committee member Benoy Konar, was, however, optimistic that Trinamool Congress would not oppose the Tata Nano project. ���Have you seen the election manifesto of the Trinamool Congress? In their manifesto, Mamata has said she wants at least one SEZ in all West Bengal districts. How can she oppose an industrial project and demand for at least one SEZ in all the districts at the same time?,��� wondered Mr Konar.
