PM Modi's Singur Visit Revives Debate on Land, Industry, and Politics in Bengal

Nearly 18 years after Tata Motors withdrew its Nano car project from Singur due to political protests and business concerns, the village remains a symbol of industrial decline and political conflict in West Bengal. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address a rally at the former factory site, highlighting issues of land use and missed economic opportunities. While the land was returned to farmers following a Supreme Court order, much of it remains uncultivated, reflecting ongoing debates over development and governance in the state.
