Kolkata, June 11 (PTI) Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today made light of the criticism being faced by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for first announcing an ordinance and then saying a bill would be moved in the assembly to reclaim the 400 acre at Singur.
"So what? It's a good decision," Mukherjee told reporters in reply to a question before leaving for his Jangipur Lok Sabha constituency in Murshidabad district.
The chief minister had hurriedly announced an ordinance on Thursday for reclaim of 400 acre of land at the abandoned Tata Motors site, for farmers who had unwillingly parted with it.
Yesterday she had said that the government would table the land reclamation bill in the assembly session, which has been advanced to June 13 from June 24.
