Singur talks end; Left calls emergency meeting

KOLKATA: The crucial meeting between Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi and Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has ended. The outcome of the meeting, however, is not known yet.

Meanwhile, an emergency Left Front meeting has been called for the second time on Sunday to discuss the issue.

Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee joined the meeting between Mamata the Governor after the two held discussions for over an hour.

Senior Trinamool Congress leader Partha Chatterjee said Mamata was requested by the governor to come to Raj Bhavan for a discussion on "land-based issues in and around Singur".

Earlier, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee met the governor and discussed the issue. But the details of the discussion were not revealed.

Talks between West Bengal governor and Opposition Trinamool Congress to end the Singur deadlock remained inconclusive on Saturday.
