Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee suggested earmarking 500 acres of land opposite the controversial Tata Motors factory site to make the "people's car', the Nano, in Singur for the project. "The government has been saying there is no land available, I am giving you an alternative. Farmers do not cultivate that land,' she said. She alleged that the land was owned by "promoters' from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) or CPI(M), the largest party of the ruling Left Front coalition in the state. Banerjee was addressing a lower-than-expected gathering around Singur, an hour's drive from Kolkata, where the Trinamool Congress has begun an indefinite siege in support of farmers, who had refused to accept compensation for the land the state acquired for the Nano project and leased to Tata Motors. The rally was attended by Amar Singh, general secretary of the Samajwadi Party, which supports the United Progressive Alliance at the Centre, and activist Medha Patkar. Author and activist Arundhati Roy also arrived in Singur but did not speak at the rally. On Friday, growing tensions prompted Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata to threaten to pull out the project
