Narendra Modi‘s Gujarat sent Qutubuddin Ansari to West Bengal. How ironic that Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee should return the favour with the Tata Nano.
How ironic that BJP ruled Gujarat should quietly trump BJP-ruled Karnataka in the race for the plant while B.S. Yediyurappa and team (and Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy and Vilas Rao Deshmukh) were running all over the place.
And how ironic that the plant which ran into trouble over 400 acres of agricultural land in Singur should now be located on 1,000 acres of land donated by the Anand agricultural university in Sanand.
And how might it further add to the halo around Modi’s “leadership”?

Another vote bank politics turned into disaster..! Mamata wanted to gain in Bengal’s rural vote bank… It has back fired & now she will LOOSE all the urban votes which was her vote banks major chunk. She might have lost even the rural votes in this mess…!!
Finally WB has to pay the price for mamata aunty’s drama. Govt lost a economic boost, mamata lost the vote bank, Tata’s lost crores of rupees & farmers lost their land…! It was a wise decision from Tata’s to move out of WB.

The Tata Nano is a national icon, an ‘image’, a symbol. Something that we should be proud of, and give it a collective thumbs-up as a nation. The Nano needs to be recognized as an Indian, Desi achievement, similar to the PSLV launch, the moon mission, etc..
It is a big relief that the work will finally get underway. Whether in Gujarat, or Karnataka, or AP, or Maharashtra is less important than the fact that it is at least going to get started.

Ratan Tata has done the right thing and made a cool and calculated decision in hte interests of his shareholders, which in the case of the TATA group consists of a host of charitable institutions. Vinutha, the farmers at Singur have their land but can’t make much more money out of it, for may reasons – lack of market access, poor supply chain, uneconomic land holdings etc., The Nano project would have helped them find a regular income and put their backbreaking days of toil behind them forever. Thanks to a bunch of luddites and stupid reactionaries, Waste Bengal has become a cauldron of raving lunatic charlatanry. Tata had a few choices, let’s check them out…
Uttarakhand – headed by a tough no nonsense Maj.Gen. Khanduri, who got our highways started and is a feared administrator. But access to Uttarakhand is thru Mayavati’s UP which has been laid waste to by Mulayam and besides mayavati is flirting with populism these days and increasingly out of touch.
TN – Madras is the Detroit of India of sorts, but the first family of the state the corrupt Karunanidhi dynasty wants too much of money. Koreans and Germans will pay, but Ratan Tata won’t
Karnataka – has a business-like and progressive administration – finally – but still not out of the woods with the hypercorrupt Gowda clan and Congress goons still not put into their place
AP – It’s run by YSR a Sonia chamcha, and there is never knowing which way YSR will turn – unsteady and populist – and with the guy up for re-election, he may suddenly turn populist
Rajasthan – Not considered
Maharashtra – It is mired in inefficiency
Gujarat – It has always been the 1st choice, headed by an able administrator, very business-like and efficient. So there we have it!
FYI, everyone. Qutubuddin Ansari lives in Ahmedabad and leads a peaceful life. He became disgusted with the pseudo-progressives of Calcutta who wanted to build their careers on his back, so a few years back he packed up his bags and returned to Gujarat.

Anti-industry is at the very root of bengali psyche because of CPI(M)’s politics since 1940 while Mamata’s political existance is barely a decade old.

But Gandhi-giri failed as Buddha backtracked even after signing deal with Mamata because CPIM wants to play politics than resolve the issue.
The problem of Singur is not solved- because the land cannot be used for agriculture. Neither its returned. Tata still has the lease.
I think in normal circumstances, Modi would not like to give in to competitive sops as demanded by Industries.

The financial situation of the state is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY BAD. Probably worst in India.
Much of Central Govt funds goes back as they often come with strings attached- State Govt will have to foot centain percentage to get the central fund. As state cannot allocate any money, thus central funds go back unused.
WB is surviving because some key Govt sector that feeds its economy n keep economy running.

Dear Friends,
shifting of Nano to Gujarath is discussed from different vantage points. Protestors like Medha Patkar, Arundathi Roy, etc, political opponents like Mamatha Banerjee, ruling communist party, and NGOs should do some serious introspection. But will they?
No doubt those farmers who were not ready to give their land might have been benefited for sure in the short term. But only the future development will give the verdict on this. What was missing in all this drama was the hidden or obvious societal force to generate maximum welfare for all. What will happen to all those majority framers who are also poor? Will they be taken care of now? What will happen to their promised job? Even if they get back their land, what will they be able to do there?
Every actor in this sad drams was driven by what was close to their heart while claiming their stand to support the downtrodden. With future investment in West Bengal drying up, West Bengal will soon join the ranks of BIMARU states unless the people will join together and bring about dramatic changes soon. Will any investor dare to plan to build a new factory in West Bengal?
As I mentioned in the beginning, we have analyzed the situation only from the point of view of activists and politicians. But let us also see from the point of view of shareholders of Tatas. This was a monumental blunder on the part of Ratan Tata to have taken the decision to invest in Singur. The shareholders lost crores. As a good manager, he should have considered the risks of not getting all the land versus the economic benefits promised by the ruling party. A good manager with an insight would not have chosen a state like West Bengal where political situation is very fluid. This will go down in management books as a great blunder committed by Tatas and will be good case study for future managers to learn about strategic planning.
