Ratan Tata made it clear that he is out off Singur now. In a press conference on last Friday he blamed it squarely on agitation by Mamata Banerjee for the decision.
At the hindsight it is culture of agitation which is cultivated by left parties in last 30 years has brought the situation to this end. It is easy to blame Mamata Banerjee, but detailed analysis will not warrant exclusion of the role of Leftist government of West Bengal. The rallies and agitations at the cost of development is the popular culture has come to forefront in the entire episode. It is the failure of left government also, in creating a consensual environment on this record.
Mr Tata is keen on timely roll out of his dream project and he cetainly can't sit idle till the issue gets resolved within Mamata and Buddha. It is of course a setback for Tata Motors as they failed to gauge the ground realities at Singur. Now they are scouting for alternative sites, and hopefully they won't get into similar situation.
