Govt to convene All Party meet on Singur soon: CM

Kolkata, Sep 1 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today said efforts were being made to convene an All Party meeting soon to solve the Singur impasse.

Talking to newspersons at the State Secretariat, the Chief Minister said the state government was committed to solving the imbroglio and hence, decided about convening the All Party meet.

Referring to Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi's letter to Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee requesting her to find ways to solve the issue, Mr Bhattacharjee said, '' I have also received a copy of the letter and fully agree with the Governor's view in resolving the matter.'' Mr Bhattacharjee said he also had talks with the Governor on the issue.

Mr Bhattacharjee informed that in regard to the All Party, he also had discussion during the day with Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi and Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Manas Bhuniya.

On August 30, the Governor had appealed to Ms Banerjee to solve the problem over the Tata Motors' Nano project through discussions.

Expressing concern over the situation that snowballed over the state's industrial and political scenario, the Governor sent the letter to Ms Banerjee requesting her to agree for talks to find out a solution, acceptable to both the Trinamool Congress and the state government.

The Governor's letter also mentioned about the need for taking the help of a mediator, if necessary, in the process of talks to solve the issue.
