After facing intense rounds of filthy mudslinging at the hands of Bengal (or should I say Mamta Bannerjee?), Tata Motors finally gave in to the demands. It is ready to move out of the state and take its much-awaited small car ‘Nano’ to more welcome pastures. Now that one party (one that could have brought about a change in the state’s economy) has forfeited, the question remains to be seen is that will industrialisation in Bengal be able to recover? We are aware how religiously it is pursuing investors, so will the Tata pullout send across negative vibes?
The whole situation was made just so complicated (thank god, it did not end like Nandigram) with meaningless netagiri. Now, the 1000 acres land vacated by Tata is rendered useless even for farming. Any scope for jobs and development in the area is nothing but a haze.
Yes, petty politics led to this downward movement of Bengal’s developing future. And they were saying it was a fight between industrialisation and agriculture! A sad situation indeed, but I’m sure Bengal shall recover and hopefully will not kick out any possible means of prosperity.
