Dada backs Tata, TMC asks him: Tell us where is Singur?

Stating that the brand Tatas would turn Singur into another Jamshedpur, he said that as a citizen of West Bengal and a part of the Tata Group since 1994, 8220;I feel industry is the future of the state.8221;

8220;So let us support the cause of Tatas and the industry to create the future of us. If this project goes elsewhere, the state will become a dark spot,8221; Ganguly said.

The Trinamool Congress which is spearheading the agitation in Singur over land acquisition for the project slammed the cricketer8217;s endorsement of the car plant sarcastically asking 8216;Does he know where Singur is8217;.

Trinamool Congress leader Dinesh Trivedi said he would request Ganguly to go to Singur, talk to the farmers and assess the situation and then give his reaction.

Ganguly is being paid by Tatas and he is under their sponsorship, he said.

8220;There is no objection. He is doing his duty and he is earning out of it,8221; Trivedi said of the cricketer backing the car project.

8220;But the issue Singur is very sensitive. Does he know the matter Does he know how many farmers were beaten,8221; he added.
