That the 'Opposition' is opposed to industrialisation in West Bengal is a horrendos lie. The economic history of West Bengal from the mid-1960s would show that the Left Front and its constituents have done everything to discourage the growth of industry. They have woken up after four decades of sloth and double-speak. They have found a nice escape by pointing fingers. Travel down Jessore Road and you will find large tracts of industrial land that will make it unnecesary to acquire lands in Singur and Nandigram. Or, travel from Majerhat down to Diamond Harbor. Vacant unused indstrial sheds. They all stand testimony to four decades of anti-industrialisation and twenty-four months of land grab elsewhere.
