Mamata still angry with Nano
As the world watched
the launch of Tata Motors' Nano in Mumbai, an agitated Trinamool Congress chief
Mamata Banerjee Monday said she was not bothered by the event and lost her cool
with journalists for asking whether she now regretted her campaign that forced
the world's cheapest car out of West Bengal.
"We don't care for Nano. That is not our business. We ignore it," Banerjee said when asked by mediapersons for her reactions to the Nano launch.
Banerjee, who had called the media to release her party manifesto for the coming Lok Sabha polls, got angry when asked whether she regretted the sustained campaign against land acquisition launched by her that forced Nano out of the state.
"Why? We are not bothered whether it is Nano or No-No. We can't interfere in their business. I am not a partner," she said, raising her decibel.
Banerjee spearheaded a sustained two-and-a-half year agitation in Singur - the original site of the Nano plant - against the alleged forcible acquisition of land for the world's cheapest car project, and ultimately Tata Motors was forced to shift the factory to Sanand in Gujarat.
"I had said earlier that if somebody holds a trigger to my face, he will have to take the decision whether or not to pull the trigger, because I will not move away. I must say Ms Banerjee has pulled the trigger," Tata had commented.
