well the opinion is so divided that I feel scared of writing my views on this issue.
If the country has to develop then the new factories will come up. The fcatories will not come in air or on mountains. For this we need land and the logistics.
Nandigram is a typical example where so much of life has been lost despite the fact that the intention of Sri Budh deb Bhattacharya was to make the West Bengal industrially developed so that it can creat employment and higher revenue that could be ploughed back for other development. The idea was certainly pious and I fully support the CM on his stand to acquire land for industrial growth.
Who will be benifitted by the industrialsation is known to all but despite that there was intellectuals rally in Kolkatta opposing the stand of government has baffled me.
I think the people of Bengal are wise and will support the CM and ignore mercurial leader like Mamta Banerjee who most of the time remains clueless and does not provide an alternative solution and Sri L K Advani who reached Nandigram and want to make it an issue in parliament.
If acquiring land for industrial growth is a sin , then Mr Advani should advise the Chief Minister of BJP ruled state to not acquire agriculture land for industrial purpose. Even if he will advise, no chief minister of his party will listen to him.

i totally support your views Aftab. The only problem is the LEFT Parties are the least qualified to usher in Industrialisation in Bengal [having destroyed it for the past 40 Years]. In fact the Politicak Destruction of the LEFT is a pre-requisite for the good of this country. The UNEMPLOYED Left "Leaders" like Karat and Yechury,Bardhan and BASU should be booted out of Television cameras and the Politics of this NATION.

Aftab, You are right in your approach. All sensible people will support your views. But the point is West bengal has been fed on a diet of Militant Tradeunionism [to throw out the Industries!] for the past 40 Years by the same people who now pretend to be "Developers" of Industry! Will the people believe in it? Buddhdev may have good intentions, but he heads a party which is nothing but a conglomoration of Tradeunion Leaders who have done nothing constructive in the past 40 years. And their unemployed "Leaders" sitting in Delhi talk a different Language. Under these conditions Mamata has taken on the role of the Old Commies to prevent any Industrial Growth in Bengal! Also the Stalinist approach of Buddha in Nandigram is opposed even by the so called "Left Intellectuals" who have played no mean role in making Bengal RED and making it one of the most backward State in the country!
