Kolkata: Talking tough, the West Bengal government on Friday night ruled out any further sops on the Tata Motors issue, and said the stalemate could be resolved only if the opposition accepted the latest compensation package it has announced.
"A solution can be found only if the opposition accepts the package made public on Sep 14 and based on the dialogue between the government and the Opposition in the presence of the Governor (Gopalkrishna Gandhi)," Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said in a short statement.
Trinamool Congress Mamata Banerjee met West Bengal Governor Goaplkrishna Gandhi seeking his intervention for fresh talks to break the deadlock on Singur issue.
Mamata had an 80-minute meeting with the Governor at the Raj Bhavan and told reporters her party wanted a solution “in the interest of the people and the state" and asked the government to implement the September 7 agreement reached between her and Bhattacharjee for a land-for-land solution.
Mamata, who had earlier threatened to go on the warpath from any day after September 19, said after meeting the Governor that if necessary her party was prepared for more talks with the government.
The Trinamool Congress, on the other hand, said "I informed him that the state government was not ready to give any concession on the land. I requested him to take care of this point."
The TC leader charged the government had flouted its own decision. "It signed an agreement saying it will provide maximum land and set up a committee to ascertain its scope. The chief minister did not wait for the committee report and dissolved it arbitarily," she said.
