Welcome Step

No state of India requires a beggar industrialist.... Use your own money. Take loans if you don't have enough but why beg from a economically sagging state?

As far as I know, he's one of the richest men in this planet. He's a noble and great bizman - that's what we regular people know. Then why does he want the land, electricity, other infrastructural expenses, raising the level of the land etc etc to be borne by the poor state government(s)? Well, as a bizman, he's every right to choose from the grants/aids available to him. Isn't it degrading and laughable for a man like T-A-T-A?

Its called negotiating. Tata will give jobs in return...

Can you beg and get 1000 acres in West Bengal?

Well - for begging, you and me will not get perhaps. Begging also has different set of standards. He has more, he wants much more - from anybody whoever doesn't matter.

And employment? The factory is gonna be fully automated. So possibility of direct employment is understood. And ancillaries will have to recruit by political influence - don't know how many locals will be employed. Most of the items would be brought from outside the state as such.

And has Mr Tata really invested Rs 1500 crores already in Singur?

Well, I respect your experience in auto industry but you have skipped the answers of the actual questions.
