Mamata scripts Bengal's biggest loss

What a puja it was for West Bengal and the entire Bengali community. After all the drama Ratan Tata decided to pull out of West Bengal proving who had the power to decide. Mamata Banerjee on her part scripted the biggest loss in West Bengal's recent history. It is ironical that she did not live upto the meaning of her name which means 'mother's love'. There was a time when she was looked up as a selfless politician but she has rather proved to be a cat among the pigeons. The truth is today she eyes the Writers more than she cares about the farmers of Singur.

Ratan Tata had earlier warned that any industry cannot run under 24 hour police protection and if the situation on the ground is not normal he will be forced to pull out. So he did just when the entire state was gearing for the biggest festival Mr. Tata gave the final blow. The entire state was left shell shocked and the politicians on both sides were short of words.

The best joke of the entire event came from the Singur MLA Rabindranath Bhattacharya belonging to the TMC who said they did not want the Tatas to leave Singur. Then why did he join the meaningless protest. Was he trying to script his way into a Tollywood movie facing the news reels everyday. People like Mr Rabindranath Bhattacharya fell sorry not for the farmers but for themselves as they made a lots of quick bucks supplying building materials to the erstwhile Nano plant.

The land that was taken from the farmers is not suitable to agriculture and so most of the farmers have lost literally everything. The thousands of educated youngsters of the state who were looking up at this project are heartbroken. The labourers and the workers employed at the Nano plant have turned jobless overnight. All because of a failed politician who wanted to revive her doomed political career at the cost of the state's development

As far as Mamata's CV is concerned she has been a 'big talk' politician all her life. People should not forget how she almost brought the Indian Railways to a halt while she was the Railway Minister. The same Indian railways is making huge profits under a surprising candidate Laloo Prasad Yadav. Mamata's dream of becoming chief minister of the state can only bring catastrophe to West Bengal

The big question that arises is in all this who has emerged as the winner. Surprisingly its a man by the name of Narendra Modi who has got one more jewel in his crown in his already industrialized Gujarat. Perhaps Mamata should have judged the importance of this projects from the politicians of other states who were in a rat race to get this project in their home state. Modi for now is surely in the steering wheel of the engineering marvel.

Now with the Tatas gone and Bengal's re-industrialization dream dented chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya will have to look of other potential investors. Perhaps the only sign of hope came from him when he said the war is not over yet. As for the people of West Bengal they will have to decide the fate of people like Mamata Banerjee who have the potential to take the state back to the stone age.
