Whatever the Communists' mistakes, Mamata cannot disown her role (a nmajor one) in the quitting decision of the Tatas. Whatever sympathies I had earlier with her, they are totally gone now. Mamata's obstinacy, peevishness, grumpiness, narrow-mindedness, egotism, whimsicalness, utter lack of statesmanlike qualities, and most thoughtles and silly agitation putting every stumbling block in the way of the Nano, the first cheapest unique car of India - contributed solely to the unceremonious exit of the Tatas from West Bengal. Instead of fighting it out with the CPM, and instead of demanding for a higher compensation etc for those who owned the disputed 400 acres of land, she unnecessarily took her ire on the Tatas. 400 acres is too small an affair considering the nature of the small car project. Mamata's stock has gone down abysmally and she will go down in history as an anti-industry boor and as a low level and illiterate politician. West Bengal and India would never forgive her for her most negative role.
