Chandrima Bhattacharya Questions Sukanta Majumdar on Tata’s Singur Exit

During a heated political debate, Trinamool Congress leader Chandrima Bhattacharya posed a sharp question to BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar: ‘Why did Tata leave Singur? Answer this first.’ This challenge brought back memories of the 2008 industrial controversy that changed West Bengal’s political landscape. The Singur movement, led by Mamata Banerjee against the Left Front’s land acquisition for the Tata Nano plant, eventually led to the company shifting its factory to Gujarat. Bhattacharya used this historical point to counter current criticisms of the TMC government’s industrial policies, forcing Majumdar to address a complex chapter of the state’s history.
