A team of officials from Karnataka is expected to call on top management of Tata Motors at Pune next week to impress upon the company to consider its offer for shifting the Nano car project to the state.
Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa (pictured) swung into action soon after negotiations between the Tata Group Chairman, Ratan Tata, and his West Bengal CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee failed to resolve the impasse and the industry major deciding to bid good bye to Singur.
Yeddyurappa who had a telephonic conversation with Ratan Tata, invited him to visit Bangalore shortly for further talks on the offers made by him, which included 1,000 acres of land at Dharwad, close to the existing Tata Motors plant. Yeddyurappa also asked Principal Secretary and Industries Secretary to hold discussions with Tata Motors Managing Director G Ravikanth.
