Though West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Mr Ratan Tata say that the agitation by the Trinamool Congress against the Nano project in Singur was the reason behind abandoning the project, it is not entirely true. It is the callousness shown by the State Government in acquiring land for the project that is the real reason for the failure. Ms Mamata Banerjee’s successful opposition to the project is a warning to all obdurate politicians standing against the people’s will. If the CPI(M)-led Government is solemn about industrialising Bengal, they should take into consideration the will of the local populance. It would be better to revive old industries than haphazardly start new ones.
