BJP leaders inspect proposed site of PM Modi’s meeting at Singur
The Statesman | 5 January 2026
In view of the proposed public meeting of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Singur on 18 January, BJP Hooghly district president Gautam Chatterjee, along with state BJP secretary Dipanjan Guha and several other party leaders, today, inspected multiple plots of land in and around the Gopal Nagar area of Singur.
Mr Chatterjee said that the Prime Minister would address a public meeting at Singur and that, besides the abandoned Tata project site, other nearby areas were also being considered as possible venues. “Time is very short. The selected land will have to be cleared and a helipad set up,” he said.
He further alleged that the Trinamul Congress had driven the Tata Group out of Singur and that there was strong public sentiment on the issue. “The TMC has shattered the dreams of the people here. Neither agriculture nor industry has flourished. Our sole purpose in bringing the Prime Minister here is to assure the people of the district that if the BJP comes to power in 2026, it will take the initiative to bring Tata back,” Mr Chatterjee said.
He added that just as the TMC had risen to power from Singur, the ruling party’s downfall would also begin from Singur.
