There is no doubt - CPM did a bad job in Nandigram. But there are few things about Nandigram that got lost in the hype. You should remember 1. Nandigram is the first place in India where an honest effort industrilisation is opposed 2. Nandigram is the first place in India where ruling party supporters/leaders are thrown out of their home 3. Nandigram is the first place in India where such violence didn't errupt outside Nandigram (despite CPM's strong hold in major part of Bengal) 4. Nandigram is the first place in India where there has been fake allegation of rape - I mean rape is serious - but false allegation of rape is more serious.
