Trinamool Congress threatens to stall manufacture of Tatas' Nano

Even as the Tatas' Rs 1L car was unveiled in New Delhi, West Bengal's Trinamool Congress threatened to stall its manufacture at Singur plant.

KOLKATA: Even as the Tatas unveiled their Rs one lakh car in Delhi, West Bengal's main opposition Trinamool Congress on Thursday threatened to stall its manufacture at Singur plant.

''Until farmers get back their land forcibly acquired for the Tata Motors small car plant at Singur, we will not allow the company to manufacture cars there,'' Leader of the Opposition in the assembly Partha Chatterjee told a press conference here.

Chatterjee warned ''if pressure is put, there will be trouble.''

Alleging that 347 acre was forcibly acquired by the Left Front government to enable Tata Motors to set up the plant, he said ''the matter is still sub judice.''

''We are warning Ratan Tata that he should not dare to go to the Tata Motors Singur plant without returning land to farmers who were forced to part with it,'' he said.

The TC leader also threatend to launch a movement but did not elaborate, saying ''time will reveal its form.''
