Singur deadlock: Bengal Govt, Trinamool hold talks

After the meeting, Mamata told reporters at her residence that discussions would continue although Wednesday’s meeting had not yielded immediate fruit. “The meeting was negative. It was an eyewash. No good intention was expressed. It depends on their strategy. They are not willing to deliver the goods,” she said.

She said her party was ready to hold talks with the Government if the state takes a ‘policy decision’ on the return of 400 acres of land to farmers. She said the TMC-backed Save Farmland Committee had taken a policy decision to let the small car plant come up on the remaining 600 acres if 400 acres of acquired land was returned to the farmers.
