Ratan Tata congratulates Mamata Banerjee on becoming West Bengal Chief Minister

KOLKATA: Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata has congratulated West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on her resounding success in the recently concluded State Assembly polls.

Banerjee also said that her government had no objection to the Tatas building a factory on the remaining 600 acres of land at the project site.
