Mamata hits back, says Tata is govt’s favourite
On Friday, Trinamool Congress leader, Mamata Banerjee responded to Ratan Tata's concern over West Bengal and Singur. She expressed concern on government's favouritism towards the TATAs. 'Why is the Industries Minister holding midnight meetings with industrialists,' she questioned, referring to Ratan Tata in obvious terms.
Hitting back at Ratan Tata she said, 'Who is indulging in violence? Who raped and killed Tapasi Malik? These questions will have to be answered first. I am not responsible for the situation. People who have lost land have to be taken care of.'
She also expressed concern on government's favouritism towards the TATAs. 'Why is the Industries Minister holding midnight meetings with industrialists,' she questioned, referring to Ratan Tata in obvious terms.
Earlier on Friday, Ratan Tata expressed disappointment over the agitation in Singur.'I want to understand why the TATA group is unwanted in West Bengal. There is a definite concern of not being where we're wanted and where people are suspicious of us. If there is this feeling among the people, then we will exit the state,' he said.
