A fiery exchange took place between Chandrima Bhattacharya and Sukanta Majumdar as the TMC leader revisited the Singur-Tata saga. ‘Explain why Tata left Singur,’ she insisted, putting the BJP president on the defensive. The 2006-2008 Singur agitation was a pivotal moment in Bengal politics, centering on the acquisition of 997 acres of fertile land. The eventual withdrawal of the Nano project is still a point of contention. Bhattacharya’s pointed inquiry aimed to undermine the BJP’s narrative on industrial growth, reminding voters of the TMC’s long-standing pro-farmer stance that defined their rise to power.
