It hardly matters: Mamata
Unmoved, Mamata Banerjee on Friday termed "unfortunate" Tata group chairman Ratan Tata blaming her for the winding up of the project.
"It is an unfortunate comment of an individual blaming me for the pullout decision at Singur," Banerjee said.
She demanded that Ratan Tata should return the acquired land to farmers, who had been unwilling to part with it for the Nano project.
"It hardly matters to us. It is a joint gameplan of the CPI(M) and the Tatas to leave ... The allegation that our agitation was violent is bogus," she claimed.
