WB loses.. only this time not because of the Commies

West Bengal finally lost its golden chance boost employment and investment opportunities in the state. Only this time, one cannot completely fault the commies. For a change, the communists, with their more liberal leader Buddhadeb wanted to get the Tata Nano plant in Singur. As luck would have it, Mamta wanted to prove her might and she eventually did, by forcing Tatas to abandon the site and move off to a different place.

It is just ironic that such a problem happens to the Nano project which has the world watching with such an awe. It is also ironic that it didnt happen because of the communists.

Bengal is back into blackwoods, thanks to Tata saying goodbye to Singur. Now the hard fought land, whose value was estimated to grow in leaps and bounds that actually triggered of this issue, will once again be a wasteland, with no claims and drowned value; and several such areas of Bengal will go down in value as there will clearly be no more Indian investments (leave FIIs alone!) in the near future and some of the already made ones may just be urging to leave.

Politics at play against wealth creation. Surprisingly the commies watch it stunned.

You forgot unemployment. All the Nano factory workers are in street now. It will be a big dip in employment numbers. Stupid thing that they did!
