| == Political career ==
| |
|
| |
| In 2001, Bhattacharjee won the [[Singur (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Singur constituency]] as [[All India Trinamool Congress]]. He was instrumental in mobilizing land acquisition of a proposed Tata Nano factory in Singur. This was one of the causes which led to the defeat of the longest-serving democratically elected [[Communist]] government in the world, ending the 34-year rule of the [[Left Front (West Bengal)|Left Front]] government, a fact that was noted by the international media.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2011/05/2011513143311330487.html |title=Defeat rocks India's elected communists - Features |publisher=Al Jazeera English |access-date=2019-04-11}}</ref>
