It was very foolish business decision of the Tata group to opt for Bengal whn there are many other states which are very willing to give thm a red carpet welcome. Whn it comes to industrial investment, Bengal is the worst place...worse than Bihar. In Bihar, u have goons as the problem, who could be controlled if their masters (read politicians)have the will. In Bengal, the problem is the politicians themselves.
Bengal, at the moment, is clueless as to wht path to opt for... extrelemy leftist path or pro development path. Whtever path they opt, one thing is certain, the state is set to be doomed. Whn every positive minded Indian is talking abt development, liberalisation and making India one of the economic superpowers of the world, Bengal is doing everything possible to negate all the good efforts of the Indian industrilaists. No matter which party is in the power, the bandhs are the only means of protest there.
In my view, Tatas should not have opted for a politically fragile state like Bengal. Its a hell for industrialists. Even if they manage to open up their car making unit in Singur, who would guarantee the smooth functioning of the unit??? Bengal is known for its BANDHS. Its a place where only mazdoor union leaders can prosper and not the industrialists.

Mr. Murali Amara, it seems u r completely ignorant of current affairs. Otherwise would have known about the huge industrialization endeavor being carried out by the present West Bengal government, and the bright results that we r already getting. Just follow TV channels like CNBC TV 18, and read magazines like BUSINESS WORLD and BUSINESS TODAY. And will cme to know about the developments we have already made. For ur kind information, both WIPRO and INFOSYS have set up offices in WB, and Calcutta has already been marked out by experts as one the next IT destinations.
And ur audacity is such, that u have called WB to be worse than even Bihar.
U have said that TATAs should have invested somewhere else. Do u think that TATAs r stupids? Didn%u2019t they study the industrial scenario in WB before planning to invest here? That they decided to invest here is the proof itself that situation in WB is changing.
Yes, some stupid and blunt headed persons like u still perceive WB in a bad light. But nobody bothers about idiots like u think.

Mr Basu,
It seems you are quite aware about the changing situation in WB.You have talked about Wipro and Infosys.Have you ever found out how many Bengalis worl there compared to the number of bengalis working in IT sector in Bangalore and Hyderabad?The number would come no where.
The main reason why tatas have come here to invest is the "secret Trade" done with the Govt and thats what making the other industries also interested to come here.For the last 30 years this leftist Govt opposed computers and English(NOW they are running after IT where these two are essentials) and have got cut money from the root of the society.Now they need it in huge percentage and have no other alternatives other than to do "Secret Trade".To bring in industries,no one has ever needed or shall need to lie to such extents.It is our badluck that there are few people who have been brainwashed by a part of the media and they are unwiling to see the reality.When police fires and kills common people at Katoa,our CM forgets to say "Do it now".When families die at the tea gardens our CM is too busy to have cofee with the industrialists.(He doesn't even know to what happened in the tea garden).It is a shame that we have a person who is double faced working as our CM.

brother basu pls mind ur words.. i can be nastier. i just expressed my views. u dont have to get hyper while criticising me.
development is takin place everywhr. even in Bihar. just tht i believe WB isnt the best place to do business considering tht bandhs are a norm thr rather than a last resort for the trade unions. and who can ignore the great mamata didi.
have a good day/night... n i hope u will read other posts n agree/disagree with others n not just start using language tht is uncalled for.
