Overview
- Banerjee is expected to chair an administrative distribution programme in Singur on January 28, with a possible party address at the same venue reported by TMC sources.
- She is likely to release the first instalment for pucca houses under the state-funded Banglar Bari scheme, which reports say could benefit around 16 lakh families.
- Senior TMC leader Becharam Manna said the date is being readied while the format and finer details of the programme remain unfinalised.
- The plan follows Narendra Modi’s January 18 appearance at the same ground, where he criticised the state’s law-and-order record and linked investment flows to improvements.
- TMC leaders are pointing to state-cleared projects in Singur, including a Rs 500-crore warehouse and an eight-acre agro‑industrial park by WBIDC, while noting no new investment was announced at the Prime Minister’s rally.
