  • Asked about a possible clash, Manna said, “We are ready for everything. Let the police come. We will not budge. The people of Singur are ready to lay their lives for their land.”

    The Singur agitation has got a fresh momentum following Trinamool candidate Ratna Nag’s victory over seven-time CPM MP Rupchand Pal in the Hooghly Lok Sabha constituency, of which the Singur Assembly segment is a part.

    In 2006, the state government had acquired nearly 1,000 acres of land in Singur for the Nano project. Though the Tatas pulled out last year, the deadlock continued with Banerjee demanding that the 400 acres yet to be returned to farmers be given back to them.

    Sources said after her party’s shining performance in Lok Sabha polls, Banerjee spoke to the Committee leaders to revive the agitation. They said Trinamool supporters are getting ready to take on the police and security personnel guarding the site.
