Singur And Nandigram

Holding CPM responsible for the anti-land acquisition protests in Singur, that forced Tata Motors out of the state, the Bengal Chief Minister said there is no dearth of land in Bengal and so there is no need to acquire land forcefully

The "silence of the graveyard" has engulfed Nandigram and Singur in the past decade, West Bengal's former communist Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has said on the eve of the state's second phase of Assembly polling.

Nandigram and Singur, two places in West Bengal that made headlines a decade ago, will now come alive on the silver screen. Directed by a former student leader of Trinamool Congress, who fell out of favour, "Comrade" will have song, dance and violence that had marked the upheaval over land.

The peasants' movement in Singur will be part of the history curriculum in schools of the state-run West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) from the current academic session, a senior minister announced here on Monday.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said that farmers in Singur will get possession of land after Durga Puja festival which begins next week.

Singur and Nandigram, known for the intense protests against farmland acquisition that caused the ouster of the Left Front government and propelled Mamata Banerjee to power in West Bengal, will cast its vote in the second phase of panchayat polls today.

Trailers of Shanghai remind the audience of land acquisition in Singur and Nandigram but director Dibakar Banerjee denies any such link.

Banerjee said it was her government's policy not to allow SEZ status and she could not change the decision.

Mamata Banerjee's trusted Lieutenant has been with the Trinamool Congress since its founding, particularly during the party's movements against land acquisition at Singur and Nandigram, but has always preferred keeping a low profile.

After Nandigram and Singur, the West Bengal government is caught in yet another confrontation -- this time in Lalgarh, a tribal area.
