Eversince Nandigram Issue came,I have pointed out several times in this rediff forum regarding Importance of Kolkata .Now comes Ahmedabad as a potential place.There are various reasons 1. During British rule , British understood the potential of Ahmedabad and kolkata .So they made Kolkata as capital and Ahmedabad as Manchester of india .The relation of Kolkata and ahmedabad is very old and there was tremendous business riveraly between this two coastal cities .Both the cities once the hub of textiles but alas ! last 60 years this two cities were neglected as a result Ahmedabad has lost lot of textile Mills once it had and Kolkata lost the hub of forging and other steel Industry .Thanks to the political apathy of our all political system and those who once thought that by killing this two cities other states will gain and yeas they gain to a certain extent as long as our economy was a controll economy but suddenly this two cities has attracted so many Industrialist due to economic liberisation initiated by Late narsimha Rao and Dr manmophan singh in 1991 . 1. Kolkata is gateway of entire South east Asia,Australia ,North and South America and Ahmedabad is the gate way of entire west Asia ,EU .That is the reason Cherismatic CM Sh. Buddha is trying to develop Nandigram , a strategic island between Kolkata and Haldia port in the bay of Bengal.That is the reason L>N Mittal,Posco is trying to do their business in Jharkhand and Orissa due to easy proximity to Kolkata and haildia ,

The charismatic CM thought he can industrialise the state by killing hundreds of Muslims in Nandigram.
And the charismatic CM's Party CPM opposes SEZs and industrialisation in other states like Orissa.

CPM HAS NO CONCRETE STAND. IT DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION. THEY ARE BUSY TO CAPTURE POWER IN ANY MEANS, NOTHING ELSE. MOST OF THE MINISTERS ARE ILLETERATE AND COME TO POWER BY QUOTA, SO HOW THEY THINK BETTER FOR FUTURE GROWTH.
