“It’s government land, not Tatas” [1]

‘The moment case is resolved in SC, it will be returned to farmers’

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday said the land at the disputed site at Singur belonged to the West Bengal government and not to the Tatas, which unsuccessfully sought to set up a small car factory there. Addressing a public rally at Nimtauri in Purba Medinipur district, she said: “There is a [Supreme] Court case pending on the issue and the moment it is resolved, we will return the land to farmers as promised,” adding her government was also extending them help.But Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Surya Kanta Mishra questioned her claim.
