    Scaling back the demand that the ancillary units of the Tata Motors' Nano project at Singur be shifted across the highway to the opposite side of the site, Trinamool Congress on Tuesday said these can be built on 100 acres and the main plant on 600 acres even as it hinted that its agitation is yet to be over.

    Addressing a rally in Singur, party chief Mamata Banerjee said, "I don't want the Tatas to pull out of Singur, but I am not bothered either. However, the main plant can be set up on 600 acres and the ancillary on 100 acres."

    She demanded that the 'gentleman's agreement' on Singur reached between the West Bengal government and her party at Raj Bhavan chaired by West Bengal Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi should be honoured.

    Her party, she said, was waiting for Gandhi's return from Delhi on September 19.

    "We will speak to the Governor on September 19 and then decide our future course of action, which may be resumption of our movement. The government should not forget that we did not withdraw our dharna, but only suspended it," she said.

    With the state government having announced a fresh rehabilitation package for land losers at Singur, Banerjee, however, said she would not budge from her demand that 300 acres of land from within the main plant area and 100 acres from outside be immediately returned to farmers whose land was 'forcibly acquired'.

    "If the government can't act, it should quit. Either you solve the problem, or leave," Banerjee thundered.

    POPULATION CONTROLBy: RAJSHEKHAR PAUL | 22-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Didi, I know you are Railway Minister. Inspite of that, I am writing, please discuss at parliament and register a bill at about population control. I think, except population control the progress of India is not possible. The control should only come through a strong law, that everybody shall have to follow. Being an Indian I think this is the right time to control this and proceed for future development. I have another request to you, please look into the matter, that every development work should monitored by an individual body about it proper progress, quality of work, time frame
    Beat them up By: D.Bose | 17-Sep-2008 Reply | Forward Trinamul Congress is a party of criminals. Its leader is a self centered ugly disgusting woman who made life hell for everyone by frequently blocking roads, railways, organising meeting on the intersection of important roads in Calcutta and Hartalss. There is no end of it. It is essential for the sake of Bengal to send her back to where she came from ---Bangladesh.

    Singur StalemateBy: Bhaswati Roy | 17-Sep-2008 Reply | Forward For the sake of industrial grouth, all parties should accept whatever the farmers want. If the farmers agree to accept cash in lieu of their land that must be honoured. It is not understood why the state government is giving compensation now when they have already acquaired the land for the car factory? This issue should have been addressed before the project started. It will be a great loss to the state of West Bengal if the Nano Car company moves out of West Bengal. Did the state government handle the issue rightly?

    What is Mamta upto in SingurBy: Jamsheed Basha | 17-Sep-2008 Reply | Forward What is Mumta doing in Singure. She is blowing hot and cold there. She has not firm policy and has created a mess there in Singur. She should realise that the industrial development is important for the State of West Bengal. If the interest of the farmers were to be affected does she thinks that Communists would have ever permitted the Nano factory there. When West Bengal Govt run by Communists have no problem, what is the problem with Mamta there. She is trying to politicise the whole issue as the elections are round the corner for parliament. She is playing with the emotions of the farmers there. If there was any problem with regard to the sale of the lands of the farmer, they could have protested well before the factory was constructed. Now that it is about to commence its business, protests of this kind is only to extract something else from the TATAs. This is not fair. West Bengal Govt should act firm as TATAs would move to safe haven in other States who would be too willing to accommodate the request of Nano factory. Then it would be a great loss to the people of West Bengal. What Mamta is doing is not in the interest of the youth of Bengal. It is certainly going to affect their future as well as the future of industrial growth in the state. This is something she should seriously think about and analayse the pros and cons of her agitation. Let good counsel prevail over her attitude towards Nano factory and sooner the better.
