West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari pledged that a BJP government would bring the Tata Group back to the state and revive industrial growth without forcible land acquisition. Addressing a press conference in Kolkata, he criticised both the Left Front and the TMC, accusing them of either acquiring land forcefully or failing to deliver industries despite repeated claims. Adhikari cited the Singur Tata Motors project, which shifted to Gujarat in 2008 following prolonged protests over land acquisition. He said the BJP would pursue a balanced policy protecting farmers' rights while attracting investment and jobs. The Singur controversy remains a defining chapter in West Bengal's political and industrial history.
