Good for WB and the Country...
by Jayita Saha on Sep 03, 2008 10:46 AM

I know almost 99% (except Mamta's Supporters) are in favor of Tata's Factory. But being a sensible citizen i feel there will be nothing to loose for WB. People have to understand that an Auto factory can never revolutionize WB.
Let’s give a simple calculation.
1. As per govt's register there ware 16000(not sure actual) farmers got affected due to this land acquisition. Okay, then if i assume 7 people per farmar's family(normally farmar's family is bigger then city family), then 16000 x 7 = One lakh twenty thousand people got directly effected.
Now, do anybody know how many people of WB will get directly employed by Tata's factory ??
Any guess ?? I hardly believe at the startiing years they will employ at most 2500 people and gradually if they have profit (??) business then will increase the head count. Assuming those people family members = 2500 x 7(should be far less, because most of these people will come from city) = 17500.
Now, tell me how it can be justified to get benefit for 17500 people, you betray one lakh twenty thousand people.??

2. My second reason, the most burning issue of these days is the increasing fuel price. Fuel price is directly proportional to demand. If demand rises then the price will go up. In a country like India, where 90% fuel is got imported from Gulf countries, and our large amount of revenue (Billions of Dollars) spent to purchase that fuel. How can we justify the plan of Tata to create such a low cost car which can double our fuel deman
