"It is for the people of West Bengal and Kolkata to decide whether we are going to be an unwanted resident or a good corporate citizen of West Bengal"-Ratan TataThe Tata-Singur Issue is pushing the company to shutdown the plant completely.Ratan Tata has made it clear that TATA motors will move out of Singur if necessary to protect its staff.
Its a tragedy that such a revolutionary project which will take the average middle class Indian consumer to a new level of dignity and pride,is being suppressed by external forces for political benefits.Infact,it is reported that around 2.5 lakhs/day is spent on the food alone to keep the protest alive.
Other states like Rajasthan,Himachal,Karnataka have rolled out red carpets to Tata.Now its Tata's time to decide to move or not to move.
If it moves out,it will surely tarnish the image of West Bengal causing a huge setback in its growth.Also it will take much more time to convince companies to invest in the state in the future.

I think tata should vacate WB. This would teach a lesson to all. Ppl would think twice before pressurizing the corporates.
