Kolkata (PTI): Senior CPI (M) leader Subhas Chakraborty on Thursday described Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee's threatened agitation on Singur as "fascist" and asserted that the Tata's small car project would be a reality.

"Do you call Mamata Banerjee's threat not to allow any development work to take place in the state as agitation?" Chakraborty, who is the West Bengal Transport Minister, told reporters at the state secretariat here.

Rejecting Mamata's oft-repeated demand for return of the 400 acres in Singur to the unwilling farmers, the maverick minister said, "Land acquisition has been done there in accordance with the law of the land which can't be returned."

Chakraborty claimed that 40,000 acres of land was acquired for the Railways at Dinajpur, Malda and Islampur when Mamata Banerjee was the railway minister.

"Can Mamata Banerjee return the land to the land-losers if they claim return of the said land to them?" he asked.

Asked how the state would be affected if the Tatas pulled out of the Singur project, he said, "If they (Tatas) leave Singur, or if they don't, we (state government) will benefit both ways. You guess what I mean and it will be felt after two years (pointing to next state Assembly elections)."

The CPI-M leader asserted that the Tata Motors' Singur project would be a reality, adding there was no mistake in the decision taken by the state government.

However, he said that there might be some "defects in application".
