After gaining unexpected and commending results in Lok Sabha election, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee has learnt to welcome Tatas but with some conditions. She told a Bengali television channel Star Ananda Monday night that Tata's can speak to her about the Nano plant in Singur, but said the company will have to return 400 acres out of  997.11 acres acquired - to farmers for the project. It may be recalled that Singur, a rural pocket 40 km from here in Hooghly district, turned into a battleground for about two-and-a-half years since May 2006 when the Left Front-ruled state government announced the world's cheapest car would be built there. Demanding return of 400 acres - of the 997.11 acres acquired - to farmers, the state's principal opposition party Trinamoool Congress-led protesters laid siege on the plant. Finally,  Tata Motors moved the plant to Gujarat's Sanand last October.
