West Bengal- a turning desert for industry

It started in singur and now it is being finished in sankrail, Howrah. Yes, this is the happening in west bengal, a place of exceptional political dramas in the union of india. Industry requires land which again requires to be acquired on proper compensation to the to the owners of the land. Both the processes of acquisition and compensation are governed by laws and mutual discussions between the parties. There may be some or more complications, which also desired to be sorted out in the interest of progress and prosperity of state, India. Are the west Bengal people seeing this ? The answer is no. Here some party proposes, the opposition disposes. The industries silently leaves. West Bengal remains in static west Bengal.

All politics of land acquisitions are concerned with evicted peoples and all political parties want them as their vote bank capitalising their grivances, be whatever it may. None seems to come out with pacifying offerings to fulfil both the purposes. The entire demonstrations, movements done on schrewd politics of gaining mileage in politics. It is fact, in West Bengal things are a bit difficult because here in case of a mass acquisition, the nos of owners are so high, may be one or each have three or four kottahs of right in land within such acquisition. Therefore it is not practly possible to satisfy all while Govt. goes for such acquisition. Here begins the politics, a politics of retardation of progress, prosperity. The ideal case of such example is singur where a virtually ready to production factory had to leave West Bengal. What did the peoples of this state got ! Nothing, but an indecent picture of political arrogance, fist twisting amongst political parties & their calculation of political advantage. What a luck for West Bengal & its peoples. What politics of progress & prosperity should be, showed by Gujrat, another state of west bengal. What Gujrat can do, we can not do. Why ? Because there progress & prosperity matters, but here politics matter, progress & prosperity on litters.

Leaving aside all in between stories, come to sankrail, a place in Howrah, where a railway coach factory schewled to come up, has been stopped on very surprising grounds

by again on political agitation. The land was acquired long back by the state Govt, & was handed over to railway authirities for their purpose. The railway authorities went for construction there. Since a long time has passed between acquisitin & constructions, some peoples have unauthorisedly encroached in the land and living there, who now wants compensation, service, alternative arrangements for them before being evicted. It is equally surprising they have their patronage from political party and they are directly supporting them. The surprising tragedy is that those who are punishable for unauthorised encroachments of Govt. land, are being supported for illegal demands just to pay back in reverse coin of political advantage of their against. Again politics matters, progress & prosperity on litters.

In West Bengal almost all Govt. lands, footh paths, road flanks, canal sides etc, etc are under unauthorised occupation with the patronage of all political parties areawise on their strength &power. Most of these peoples are chance seekers, migrated poors, who become political partie's commited voters , meeting crowders of the parties in liew of their supports. These peoples never pay taxes in any forms, but doing business on land, footpath completly free with a vibrant attitude. They contribute nothing for the state, but sucks the tax payers money in the unforeseen, unforgetable political scnerio of West Bengal. Sometimes it is felt, West Bengal is turning to be the Dustbin of Indian union. Thanks to West Bengal politics & its parties.

Political friends, have you really have anything to give for this poor state any more ! Industry houses have tasted the real taste of India and West Bengal is a far behind scene to them.
