Indrani being a bengali how can you write such an article which is so very misguiding to the entire nation. Do you really think that so called people's person Mamata Banerjee gives a damn to the grievances of the peasants; she just wants a political mileage and nothing else. She has never been logical and has always been disruptive. When each and every state is vying for the investment pie to come their way then these stupid so called junata lovers are seeing evil nexus between the WB government and the Tatas. Now come on we have wasted enough time because of these whimsical politicians, its time that we all lend support to Buddhadev and make WB a progressive state, at least our next generation will then not have to travel outside the state in search of a better career opportunity.

Right subhranshu das, u r very right that we should lend support to westbengal laughing buddha( as now he is being called).Give me ur residence address (if u have own home/land) i will make it sell to an mnc if its in good area of location so that they can make it office or use it for their staff residence.Saying is easy.

two things dear Subhranshu.The story is not of Mamata or her feelings towards the state,the whole story of Singur is for a group of people who does not want to sell their land in the hands of Ratan Tata.If thats the crime then the whole freedom fighting saga not only in India but all over the world is a crime.

Mr Pushpak, When you say a group of people, please quantify the number and how much land they own. If it is less than 5-10%, would you feel comfortable? Would you like your son/brother going to other states and work there or like your son/brother to stay with your family and work in your own state? Would you not like , if a proper rehabilitation is being provided , we can discuss with these people to get the land and support industry? Do you support if those group of people sell lands to other people other than ratan tata? Why are you so against ratan Tata? Do you not aspire to be a enterpreneur one day ? If yes, when you want to create a factory that can directly/indirectly help many people, and some people oppose you simply you are a big name, then will that be right logic.

Mr. Das probably do not have time to analyze the whole issue or may be lacking the depth of understanding/intellectuality or even he may be short on memories like so called Kolkata based establishment sponsored color blind (who only see good with red flag, else all are curse for them). I have following question to Mr. Das and other enlightened progressive industry loving Bengalis opposing the singur agitation: 1. Being a Bengali does not mean you have to write in the favour of left in Bengal. We are living in a democracy and not in North Korea. Do you agree? 2. Don't you think Left parties want a political mileage by doing land acquisition in Singur and other places, without tender etc in the name of employment generation. If they are selfless then why they took so long to decide on industrialization? 3. Why they agitated once upon a time against computerization in bank (hope you remember those posters)? 4. Why they are opposing the privatization of Airports, after all that will generate more employment and improve infrastructure for much needed industrialization? 5. Why they are opposing the other land acquirement in other states while they are doing the same in their own state? 6. West Bengal being an India's 2nd most industrialized state in 1973 to being the 17th now, who ruled the states during these period - Don't you think Left presided over the sliding of Bengal in the darkness? You decide and find the answer of these questions. I am sure once you find the answer; you will curse yourself for making such a irresponsible remarks like "Mamata Banerjee is a curse".

Dear Rahul, I fully appreciate your comments and for the most part I agree with the same as well however just to give you a small back ground, I live in Mamata Banerjee's constituency and have also seen many of these so called junata daradi activist very closely, so please be convinced that they are not their to help either you or me. Also please be convinced that I am not a pro-left person but a pro-development person. I keep travelling a lot across the country and when I face questions like why should we go to WB when we do not know whether our workers will be available tomorrow or not thanks mostly to Mamata Banerjee you really have nothing else but to hide your face in shame. Do you have any idea how much compensation been offered to the people loosing their lands and compare these figures to the displaced farmers in the other states and then come back to the talking table. Mamata Banerjee has been MLA,MP, Union Minister and what not and yet there is nothing she can boast of doing any good for the state and its people. I saw your reference of the 1973 dark periods, taking no offence do you really think it should be tit-for-tat, since the left has done this then now these anti-people leaders should also now follow in the same line and shut off any development of the state and again take us 15 years backward from the other developed region of the country.
This is now or never for WB and all should join hands to see that we again take the journey towards becoming the cynosure of the rest of the country if not the world and can proudly say that we belong to the industrial-bengal and not the bandh-prone-bengal.
