Even, as the Congress targetted the Left Front government for the controversy over the Nano car project External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee met on Saturday to discuss the thorny issue.
While no details are available about what transpired in the meeting, Mukherjee told media persons that, "It is for the individual industrialists to decide where they want to set up their industry,".
Congress on Friday had alleged that Singur farmers have not been given adequate compensation during acquisition of the land.
Accusing the state government of not taking the farmers into confidence over their various demands, a party spokesman also justified the Trinamool Congress agitation over the project.
