New Delhi: Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee on Monday issued a 10-day deadline to the West Bengal Government to withdraw permission to the Tatas for the small car project at Singur.

She demanded that certain other demands were met, even as construction for it continued.

"The first and foremost condition is that the permissive possession granted to the Tatas for construction of the factory be withdrawn within ten days. There should also be no acquisition of farmland for the project," PTI quoted her as saying.

Mamata said that her party and its 21-party alliance were ready for talks on the Singur issue with Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharjee in an affable environment.

She also demanded that the car factory be shifted to non-arable land. She threatened that if it was not done within 10 days, she would lead a march at Singur.

She added that if the government ignored her demands, the farmers would decide what to do next. “But I can say it will be a massive agitation. There will be both announced and unannounced agitation. We will force the Tatas to say bye-bye," PTI quoted her as saying.
