Singur Land Dispute Revives Industrial Debate Ahead of West Bengal 2026 Elections

Singur, the site of a 2008 agitation led by Mamata Banerjee against land acquisition for the Tata Nano project, remains a key political and economic issue ahead of West Bengal's 2026 Assembly elections. The BJP plans a rally there, framing Singur as a symbol of lost industrial opportunity due to the Tata plant's relocation to Gujarat. While about 300 acres have been reclaimed for farming, much land remains barren. BJP leaders promise industrial revival if elected, contrasting with criticisms of the current state government's handling of the land and local economy.
