Hardening its posture, the Trinamool Congress ruled out any compromise with the West Bengal government or the Tata on Singur issue, threatening to intensify the agitation and take it to the doorstep of the state secretariat.
"Return 400 acres and we will leave Singur. But we will not bow our heads to the CPM and the Tatas and for that I am ready to sacrifice my life," Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee, who is on an indefinite dharna outside the Tata Motors plant since August 24 told a gathering.
"I am still holding my patience. It is not a movement by any political party but a farmer's movement. We have already agreed that the main factory of the plant will be set up on 600 acres. How much more blood of farmers do they want?" she asked.
Commenting on the concern expressed over the obstruction of movement of trucks as traffic on Durgapur Expressway, the busiest freight corridor in the state, remained paralaysed for the fourth day today due to Trinamool Congress's dharna in Singur, Banerjee said, "The government is now holding brief for the truck operators after looking after the interests of the Tatas."
"One road has been closed. Next it is turn of Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacherjee'
She said instead of two-hour road blockade across the state beginning 3 pm on Friday it would be one-hour road blockade from 4 pm. "The step was taken considering the people's inconvenience in mind", she said.
With Bihar reeling under devastating floods, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will undertake a day-long aerial survey tomorrow of the worst-affected areas to assess the damage caused by the swirling flood waters of major rivers in the state.
The Prime Minister will fly over North Bihar which has borne the worst brunt of the current spell of floods in the state leaving millions affected.
Singh's visit follows demands by Bihar leaders cutting across party lines that the Prime Minister must assess the situation himself and sanction enough Central funds to tide over the problem.
After making an aerial survey, Singh is scheduled to review the relief and rescue measures launched by the state government at a high-level meeting with senior officials.
A delegation of UPA parties in Bihar led by RJD chief Lalu Prasad had called on Singh yesterday to apprise him of the grim flood situation in state and seek a massive relief package from the Centre.
Besides requesting the Prime Minister to visit Bihar, Prasad had asked UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi to visit the state and take stock of the flood situation in large areas of the state.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has announced an additional assistance of Rs 250 crore to the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) and Rs 20 crore to Majuli, world's largest river island, during his two-day visit to the state.
Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said today that Dr Manmohan Singh had reviewed the entire gamut of issues concerning security, development and welfare of the people with him during his two-day visit, which ended on Tuesday, to his home constituency.
I am closely linked with these three states besides my home states Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh! my mother late Basanti Debi belonged to Baripada, Orissa. Partition victim Bengali Indigenous refugees form a significant part of Orissa population. Specially the SEZ drive in Paradip area is involved with deportation of our people. Coastal areas are also inhibited by our people. More over, historically Bengal, Orissa and Bihar with Jaharkhand formed single geopolitics in recent past. Even the United Province was included in British Presidency area!
I am accustomed to calamities. Our life is full of calamities. We worshipped all natural forces to face all these calamities. We worshipped totems as we were connected with nature. We still happen to be the people of the Past rather than those of the Present!
Past is never past for us. Past always overtakes our Present as well as our Future.
Our people inhibited the River zone of East Bengal until they were ejected out of their homeland. Thus , we share the legacy of Floods,Tsunami, Earth Quake, Famine, Starvation, Poverty ,Epidemics and all the calamities!
Our live contact with the nature always saved us as the aboriginal tribes in Andaman and Nicobar survived Tsunami. Our folk culture, deep rooted Natural livelihood and economy with abundance of Natural resources, our totems, Myths, superstitions and rituals saved us for thousands and thousands years.
We are a combined human scape and We always feel the warmth of underground Fire within us. The human scape is often submerged, flooded, inflicted with epidemics,cold wave, heatwave and other calamities, but we never cease to feel the underground fire! This fire enables us to resist the ruling class for time infinite. Indigenous communities survive all aggressions divine or human, with this underground fire only. Our People, thus, lead the anti imperialist War worldwide. All the indigenous people in Americas, Africa, Europe, Australia and Asia happen to be our blood relations as we are the Black untouchables.
I felt the Underground fire within as well as out while I landed in Jharia Coal Field! Since then, I am habitual to see all the indigenous people from Himalayas to the Down South being submerged with either Floods or Tsunami. We are depressed for time infinite. We are deprived for time infinite. We have been kept in darkness for ever. We are inherent of injustice and inequality. We are enslaved. We are the submerged United geopolitics of Black Untouchables!
But we have got the Underground fire within us! So they brand us as Demons, Dragons, Devils, Rakshas, Asurs, Terrorists, Extremists, Separatists, Anti Nationals,Maoists and so on whenever we stand United rock solid to defend Man and Nature, whenever we try to protect our property the natural Resources, whenever we demand for empowerment and awakening, enlightenment and share, participation in so called democracy, whenever we demand to recognise our identity and right of self determination!
They have their religion and all the holy scripts!
They have the Ruling Hegemony equipped with Military Gestapo!
They have their bloody New Galaxy Post Modern Manusmriti Apartheid Order run by corporate MNC Zionist White Hindu Imperialism.
They are habitual of making our home killing fields.
They have hands full of Blood.
They have minds full of Venom. They play Mind control game to finish us, our languages, our culture!
They use all the calamities against us to uproot us from life and liberty! Most of the calamities are Man made, masterminded to annihilate us and capture our natural resources, self sufficient sovereign Indigenous Production system.
They call it development!
They call it Urbanisation!
They call it Industrialisation.
They call it Infrastructure!
They brand it as SEZ, Chemical Hub, Nuclear Energy, Retail chain, Information explosion and reality show and so on!
They have all the weapons of Mass Destruction.
They have complete dominance on our soul, our spirit, our livelihood, our life and beyond our life, our space, our galaxy!
They own all the Black Holes to send us there only!
Any flare up of the Under Ground fire sends off global alert and all the killing instinct combined, we are targeted! They call it war of Ideology! War of Culture! War against Terrorism. War against Maoism!
How do they work aligned!
just see!
Warning that 'fear psychosis' was being created to slow down projects of national interest, India's corporate leader Mukesh Amabni on Wednesday threw his lot behind Tata's Nano project in Singur saying industry and politicians need to work together.
"A fear psychosis is being created to slow down certain projects of national importance. This will be counter productive for the country's economic growth, its global image as well as our ability to attract investments from across the world," the Reliance Industries Chairman said in a statement.
Ambani called for the Indian industry and the political leadership to work together to meet aspirations of millions of Indians in urban and rural areas.
Justifying its stand on scrapping of SEZ projects in Goa, the state government has said the Centre has the power to denotify those which are not operational within the stipulated timeframe.
"During my talks with Union Commerce Minister Kamal Nath, he said that SEZ projects should be completed within a particular time or else the Centre has the power to denotify them," Chief Minister Digambar Kamat told the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday.
The Chief Minister said the State Government's stand on SEZs is very clear and there is no change in it.
12 SEZs have been scrapped in Goa while three zones are pending denotification. In all seven SEZ developers have filed cases in the Bombay High Court against the State Govenment-run Goa Industrial Development Corporation'
Earlier, Leader of Opposition, Manohar Parrikar had alleged that government was not seriously applying its mind over getting rid of SEZs.
Parrikar had said he does not doubt government's intention but felt that it is not serious on implementation.
Replying to the contention, Kamat said that there will be no laxity in defending the cases against SEZs in the Court.
"We will engage best of lawyers in the country," he said.
Kamat also added that he would examine the possiblity whether GIDC can take back the land from SEZ developers under lease agreement.
Feel the striking Power of the Repressive ruling Hegemony!
Minister of State for Defence M M Pallam Raju on Wednesday said forces inimical to India were trying to disrupt the forthcoming elections in Jammu and Kashmir but asserted that the government was well prepared to neutralise any problem that may arise.
"The election process is on (in the state) and we expected that there will be attempts to disrupt the process and infiltration is part of that bid. But we are prepared as a nation to quell any problem that may arise," Raju told reporters on the sidelines of a defence seminar here.
"Forces that are behind the disruption want to show that they exist. We are taking all efforts to see that they do not get a upper hand and they will be neutralised,
Stating that increase in infiltration and militant attacks were anticipated as this being an election year for J&K, Raju said there may be plans to disrupt the normal process of polling.
"That is why we are aware and prepared. It is unfortunate that this (militant attack) is happening. I hope that it will discontinue in the near future," he said.
Discounting the Amarnath controversy as a prime reason for the trouble the border state faced today, Raju said row had nothing to do with the increase in infiltration or the terror attacks. He said the terror attacks and infiltration bids are entirely to disrupt the elections slated for October this year.
"The Amarnath controversy has happened at a wrong time unfortunately. But it has nothing to do with it (infiltration and terror attacks)," the minister said.
Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday "firmly condemned" the violence in Orissa and called upon Indian religious and civil authorities "to work together to restore peaceful co-existence and harmony between the different religious communities!
What is the stance of the Secular UPA Centre?
Here you are!
In the wake of violence in Kandhamal and other districts of Orissa which claimed nine lives, Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said no political party or group should be accused without proper evidence.

Orissa, a state of just under 40 million people in east India faces many development problems. It is one of the poorest states in India with almost half of its people living in poverty, it faces natural disasters such as flooding and drought on an annual basis, and now it is in the midst of communal violence that has seen at least 9 people killed over a three day period.

After days of political upheavals in the state, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) chief Shibu Soren was finally sworn-in as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand on Wednesday.Soren was invited to form the government on Monday by Governor Syed Sibtey Razi.Soren gained the numbers to form the government in the state with the support of Madhu Koda, who recently resigned as the chief minister of Jharkhand.
"I have extended support to Shibu Soren. No one is above the UPA (United Progressive Alliance)," Koda had told reporters.
The Koda government was reduced to a minority in the state legislature after the JMM withdrew support to it on August 17. Koda stepped down following advice from the Central UPA leadership.
While the Congress and the RJD announced their support to Soren, he managed to win over eight Independents, including Koda, one after the other.
On Monday, Deputy Chief Minister Stephen Marandi in the Koda government also announced his support to Soren.
Soren, who was chief minister of the state for 10 days in March 2005, had long dreamt of returning to the post. He got an opportunity when his party supported the Manmohan Singh government in the crucial Trust Vote on July 22.
He is as intact as he always has been.
AK Roy is a man of ideology!
The CPI(M) on Wednesday distanced itself from West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee'
West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was responsible for breaking the UPA coalition which had resulted in withdrawal of Left support to the government.
He said that the Prime Minister had broken the coalition by trying to enter into the civil-nuclear deal with the US.
The memories of the Past haunts me violently as I witnessed joint Rallies of JMM and Marxist co Ordination Committee led by our dearest comrade AK Roy, the ex M.P. from Dhanbad!
Brahm Dev Sharma, the editor and Bankim Babu, the manager welcomed me. Having joined Awaz, I informed my father.
The Kosi swallowed fresh areas in Supaul, Saharsa, Araria and Madhepura districts of Bihar on Wednesday even as bad weather stopped three IAF choppers from conducting relief sorties. The death toll in the floods has mounted to 55 with nine more deaths reported from the region.
Union Minister and LJP President Ram Vilas Paswan on Wednesday ridiculed the Bihar government's claim of an "unprecedented tsunami" wreaking havoc in five districts of the state.
The state government's claim about the unprecedented tsunami is ridiculous. We can say the devastation caused by the floods in Bihar has been like that of tsunami", Paswan told reporters at the airbase in Purnea after making an aerial survey of the affected areas in flood-hit Araria, Samastipur, Saharsa, Supaul, Purnea and Madhepura. He advised the state government to give up the confrontational attitude with the Centre, which was ready to provide all possible support and financial assistance to tackle the situation.
The opposition Congress and Trinamool dubbed it as a "volte face" and said that staging bandh was a "fundamental right" of the workers which cannnot be curtailed at the call of Bhattacharjee.
One person was killed in Madhepura district when angry villagers fought among themselves over limited supplies of food and medicines at overcrowded relief centres.
