Kolkata, Dec 3 (UNI) Joining the opposition bandwagon, BJP all India president Rajnath Singh has decided to visit Singur, the site of the Tata Motor's proposed small car manufacturing unit.

Mr Singh, who is arriving here tonight, will be accompanied by BJP state president Sukumar Banerjee and his general secretary Rahul Sinha during the proposed visit. But it was not yet known whether Mr Singh would be allowed to enter Singur by the state administration because of the promulagation of prohibitory orders under Section 144 CrPC banning assembly of more than four persons.

Mr Singh has decided to visit Singur after a state party delegation, led by Mr Sinha, visited Singur few days back and submitted a detailed report. Party high command, in this reported, has elaborated the ground realities and steps taken by the state government to acquire 997 acres of farmland at Singur.

A five member state BJP delegation, led by former state president Tathagata Roy, would meet Governor Gopal Krishna Gandhi here tomorrow and submit a memorandum opposing its opposition to state government's decision to set up industry forcefully on acquired farmland.

Incidentally, the BJP, which is an electoral ally of the All India Trinamool Congress(AITC), had extended support to the AITC-sponsored last Friday's Bangla bandh and asked the party supporters to make all-out effort for its success.
