West Bengal’s Agriculture Minister, Becharam Manna, on Wednesday faced the ire of a section of the farmers from Singur who lost their land.
They were reportedly irate at the failure of Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government to return the acquired farmland as part of her electoral promise. Manna along with the rebel Trinamool MLA Rabindranath Bhattacharya spearheaded the anti-land grab movement in Singur between 2006 and 2008.
