Finally the curtain has fallen on the suspense on where the NANO plant will shift to, after Singur nightmare, as unleashed by Mamta Banerjee. She ensured that the TATAs were left with no choice but to leave West Bengal (WB). The Budhdhadeo Govt in Kolkata, might have done enough to ward of crisis with the local farmers, but did not worked. Not many were surprised when the Nano's prestigious plant went to Sanand, near Amdavad, Gujarat, as presently the Modi Govt. in Gujarat is doing extremely well in the State. The people in Gujarat are happy that the political stability is paying off. The NAMO (Narendra Modi) factor has worked for the better. The best part of the entire story on Gujarat's success story is that at last Gujarat has got a CM (he calls himself Common Man), who can deliver.
Singur will always be sorry for what they did to TATA. The big industrial house's project might have had created thousands of job in WB, but Mamta Banerjee had some good plans for herself in the WB state. It was a fight between the individuals. It is really pity that the entire state of WB will suffer due to this personal fights between the communists and TMC. the sad story is the people of WB could perhaps do really little in this particular case.
The swiftness as show by Govt in this western state of India is really commendable. It was able to convince the top brass of the TATA to come to Gujarat, was something really appreciable. Politics has defeated the progress. Ms. Banerjee will repent for what she has done to the State of West Bengal. In fact the petty political gimmicks and meaningless one-upmanship has taken toll on the progress of the State. The Congress party is equally responsible for the sad departure of one of the most prestigeous plant of modern India. As without the powerful support of any one very powerful, can not withstand the brand name TATA alone.
It is really pity that the people of this country can be taken for a ride so easily by these politicians, who claim to be serving this country. The farmers can easily provoked in Singur for the price of the land TATA had acquired. I really wonder how they could not have tried to talk to TATA directly. without the politicians being involved in their problems? Look what the J & K Hindus did while agitating for the Amarnath Shrine land. It even kept the BJP, Bajrang Dal & all such Hindu outfits. Perhaps that was the reason for their win in the fight for their casue.
Politicians have their own agenda. Mamta wanted a revenge on Left Front Govt. and so was the congress who lost the support at centre on the ground of Nuclear deal with the USA. So the congress and Trinamul Congress of Mamata, were settling their scores with the left front Government. However the major loosers were the people of West Bengal and to an extent TATA Motors. The businessman is very wll versed with earning profit or loss, but what will happen to those people of Singur, who were envisaging a good business in their town and what will happen to other ancilliary industries which might have had come, had there been this plant established as planned. People around the Singur, might have lost an opportunity of their life time just due to the ego of the politicians of this country. (read Mamta Banerjee, Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh, Prakash Kharat)
The similar mistake is in the pipeline in Maharashtra. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackaray. He is institing on the Marathi culture, Marathi Language as common language of Mumbai and jobs to Marathi people. His ire over the North Indians has made him popular over night. This gimmick seems to have been working for the moment. He has awakened the Marathi Manus(Marathi Man) and he has started behaving as that the Mumbai is his ancetral property and everything in Mumbai belongs to him. Remember, his uncle, Bal Thackaray had committed the same mistake. It was in 1980s this gentle man led the same agitation, and had reached the Maharashtra Assembly. They ruled the State for almost one decade. God only knows what the betterment they did for Maharashtrain people, which they used to claim when they were out of power. The only difference it made to Thakaray family, that they become rich in all resources during this period. Even the maharshtrains had to pay the bribe during their rule. Remember this line that a day will come and he will try to show that he is taking all the people in cofidence around.
Raj Thackaray is doing the same thing. He is not having power right now. His worries for Marathi Manus was dormant, while he was in power. It is really not understood how this people remember plight of farmers of Singur or that of Marathi Manus, while they are out of power. While in the power they are interested just in making their resources strong.
But Raj must not forget that due to the policies of Bal Thackray, many business houses shifted their business, plants, manufactuiring units in Gujarat, Karanataka. These states became rich in industrial base and created jobs for thousands. Loosers here were the Maharashtra people. Business goes where there is peace, security and profitablity.
This time around the time is different. Mumbai has not remained the only port of entry for North India.We have heard mant people say the business in the olden days used to be brisk. Nor does it have one of the best infrastructure available to the business. Some time it seems that the planners of this city are totally confused and do not understand from where to start and what to start. If it does start. the political outfits are out to gain the maximum advantage by either supporting or blocking the projects. Corruption is rampant. Everybody from top to bottom want money. Even after paying bribe you are not confident that the work has been accomplished.
Several ports have been developed in Gujarat and they have oneof the best infrastructure in Gujarat. The roads are superb and administration very friendly to the business community. One can not recognize the fae of city BHUJ in Kutch district which was hit by one of the most devastating earth quake on 26th Jnauary 2001. Development has been a top priority for the present State Govt.
Raj must worry about why the locals have been left behind. Despite the best educational set up, top technicians and officials are not the locals. Why the people from North are preferred over the local people. He must find out why this is happening when the Mumbai and Maharastra has stayed on top as prosperous and fast developing State for a long period of time. Why these locals have not learned to work hard like the people who come from other States. It has been discussed many times with many people that people from North India are ready to work at your conditions and not the other way round. Are you going to give a job just because he is local and going to accept all his conditions relating to work environment?
(He was heard targeting the Chief Minister for not being able to fetch Tata's Nano Project to Maharashtra - He needed to stop the violence in Maharashtra against the cheap labour coming from North India and assure the TATAs or such a industrialists that there will not be any disturbance from his side.)
You might do it your way, Mr. Raj, but by the time you become Chief Minister, you might have been responsible of having scared away the top business houses out of Maharashtra. Are you going to set up your own business houses here? As said earlier, business brings in Capital. Capital comes only when there is stability, peace and profitability. If the business man does not earn or make profit he will not come Maharashtra. (The Reliance SEZ is emboiled in politics near New Bombay).
The Maharastrian people must think over all these issues. A introspection is must at this juncture and the solution as put forward by Mr. Raj is utterly against the business logic. Business atmosphere will bring in Capital, create job and bring in prosperity. If a State has to retain the number one position Raj must acknowledge what he has been doing is wrong. He needs to be creative. Just boasting that Marathi culture and speaking or sign boards in Marathi will not stop farmers in Vidarbh and Marathawada from committing suicide. Nor will it help locals in increasing their competitiveness globally. He might win good number of seats, beating his uncle, but can he stay there with hatred in his mind. He might, of course win few seats, but not the elections. He will have to come down from where he is now. Will the Marathi people will accept his this political tantrum, like what his uncle did? remember, what you saw, you get. Uncle saw hatred, nephew is fetching fo rhis uncle in the same manner. Raj, must receive the same, what he is sawing right now.
People must understand that they need not be very emotional on everytime this family arouses the Marathi pride. (WHile Mr. Raj's ward who has selected French in collge over Marathi language, as French is scoring language and not Marathi and has international importance.) It really pity that despite understanding what Mr. Raj or Ms. Mamta, are doing, people tend to suppot these people and then lament that the political system in India has failed. It is not political system which had failed, but it is the failure of our understanding of issues and taking corrective measures as and when required. We have to learn to dump those politicians who are against the development and hence against people's prosperity, the faces might change, but their agenda remains the same. POWER.....!!!!!!
