"It is my choice in which car I travel," she said when asked whether she would ever ride Nano.

Banerjee, whose anti-land acquisition agitation led to the shifting of the Tata factory from West Bengal to Gujarat, claimed that the base model of the 'Rs 1-lakh (Rs 100,000) car' will cost not less than Rs 1.54 lakh (Rs 154,000) in Kolkata.

The Trinamool Congress leader had been vehemently opposing the granting of 1,000 acres of land at Singur for the Tata Nano factory. -- PTI
