New Delhi: Medha Patkar of the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA), who had joined hands with the Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee in the struggle against land acquisition for Tata Motors' Nano project in West Bengal, has welcomed the company's decision to shift the project.
“We are very happy with (Tata group chairman Ratan) Tata's decision to leave Singur. He has some values. He should have taken this decision long ago,” Patkar told IANS by telephone Saturday.

Patkar said: “There are many things to be kept in mind before you acquire land. There is question of rehabilitation. One has to calculate the cost if it would be a profitable venture compared to the agriculture returns from the place and so on."

Reminded of Ratan Tata's caustic remark on the source of funds for agitators, Patkar shot back, saying: “He refuses to share details about investments even with people who are involved (in the project) and asks us (about funding). He cannot ask this question. Such questions were raised against the Narmada Bachao Andolan too and the Supreme Court replied properly to it.”
