Kolkata, Jan 18: The CPI(M) on Sunday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speeches in public rallies in West Bengal during this weekend have delivered nothing new, and accused the BJP of having colluded with the TMC in driving out the Tata Motors car factory from Singur.
CPI(M) central committee member Sujan Chakraborty asserted that other than the issue of infiltration, there is nothing significant in what Modi has said.
“Rajnath Singh, who was then the BJP president, and the BJP were with Mamata Banerjee during her Singur agitation,” he claimed.
Tata Motors shifted its Nano factory in Singur in October 2008, following prolonged anti-farmland acquisition protests helmed by TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee to Sanand in Gujarat.
The anti-land acquisition protests in Singur and Nandigram played a key role in the downfall of the 34-year long uninterrupted rule of the CPI(M)-led Left Front in West Bengal in 2011. (PTI)
