Asha's Musings, Thoughts & Feelings: The Singur Naaraa

The Singur issue is being blown up by the political parties...regular bandhs, agitations, rallies, hunger strike are causing inconvenience to the general public.....obviously I like it only because it gives me a break in college with such tight schedules. But of course one cannot deny the fact that industrial set ups are important for the development of West Bengal and if these agitations persist no industrialist or multinationals will dare to set up anything for that matter in the state.

The Tata’s want to set up an industry in the state and it’s an honor for the state as well as a good opportunity for its economic development. This deal will become a source of employment in the state and it will also add up to the revenue of the government then why should we scream and shout against it? Industries need to exist or the business scenario as well as the economic scenario of the state will cease to exist. This issue should be in the interest of the general public. No one says the farmers don’t have their rights but why do they fail to realize that this deal will also give employment opportunities to the inhabitants there and the government should be supported by the public for setting up industries in the state or this state will never be able to develop.

Why do we need all these acts to be carried out which can only create bad impression of ours on the world. If this carries on which multinational or for that matter any other industrialist would even think of setting a unit here? We need to move forward with the time and the time needs us to break all barriers
