While the West Bengal government is mulling legal options after Tata Motors win in arbitral proceedings against the West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC) for the abandoned car project in Singur, the Trinamool Congress government is also facing scathing attacks from Opposition parties in the State.
State’s Leader of Opposition and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari said that there will be protests if the government decides to pay the award from the State exchequer. Mr. Adhikari said that the award to Tata Motors should be paid from the fund of Trinamool Congress. The LOP wondered if West Bengal Bengal had enough funds to pay the award to Tata Motors. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) leadership also spoke on similar lines and asked whether the State government has enough funds to give to Tata Motors.
Tata Motors announced on Monday that it has won the arbitral proceedings, which centred on the loss of its capital, and now the company can recover ₹765.78 crore plus interest from WBIDC.
