Singur, June 3 (UNI) Sticking to her stand that the small car factory would never be allowed to come up here, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee today resolved to take out 'Bhookha Michchil' of farmers in five cities across the country.

Addressing a rally at Bajemelia village under Singur, Ms Banerjee declared that she would intensify her movement against the Tatas' project unless land was returned to the farmers.

''Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee is in all smile to say that the Tata project will be executed. But I say, never never never shall we allow it to happen. I shall see to it how does it come up,'' she said.

Ms Banerjee said the Trinamool Congress-led Krishi Jami Raksha Committee would organise the processions and highlight the Singur farmers who had lost their land for the Tata Motors' project. They would take out processions with begging bowls in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Jamshedpur between the third week of June and second week of July, she added.

''The processions will be organised demanding that peace be restored in Nandigram, the guilty for the March 14 genocide be tried and the land of Singur farmers returned,'' she said.

Pressing for the demands, the Krishi Jami Raksha Committee would also organise a one-hour 'chakka jam' in the city on June 9.

''We shall further intensify our movement and take it even to the Marxist stronghold areas unless and until the government gives back land to the unwilling farmers who had to part with their plots for the small car project,'' she said.

The Trinamool leader alleged that the Left Front government was misleading the people in the name of industrialisation and its policy ''prompted'' at least two Singur farmers to commit suicide.

Senior Trinamool Congress functionaries and the Naxalite representatives sharing the Krishi Jami Raksha Committee platform, also addressed the rally.
