The economy of WB was extremely good till Dr BC Roy's tenure. Since then, the comies ruled that state and during JB's period, we've seen the rise of militant red trade unions, free entry of migrants from Bangladesh for votes for CPI(M) in lieu of citizenship, a bandh and strike culture, demise of industrial culture etc etc. The economy is virtually collapsed. Biddha tried to rebuild but it seems the way he's doing the efforts are not always suitable, if not incorrect. The point is Tata is one of the richest persons of this planet and he has got an industrial empire courtesy the Congress Government, they protected his business from any foreign competition (refer the case of Orient Hotels, New York). Now if he wants to set up a business in WB or any other state, nothing wrong but he doesn't wanna spend (typical Indian inferior mentality) - he wants free land, free infrastructure like electricity, rising the level of the land etc specially from this poor government? Is Tata a beggar? Is there any free lunch for you and me? He's just a businessman and we must not forget it. See, huge amount of barren land was available at a little distance from Kolkata but he wanted to spoil the good fertile land while the whole world is suffering from food crisis. We simple people also understand this, why can't Tata the opportunist? If Tata leaves WB, it'll be good for WB, it sucks resources of that poor state.
