Political Opportunism

West Bengal is the only state which witnessed massive land reforms in the country during 30 years of the Left rule.  Nobody can deny that agriculture and industry should go hand-in-hand to create employment opportunities and sustain economic growth.  The inflexible posture by Mamata Banerjee to destabilise the Tata car factory at Singur, even though the state government is prepared to compensate generously to the farmers and the dependant agriculture labourers is unfortunate.  The Congress party’s distancing itself from the Singur controversy smacks of sheer political opportunism and double standards.
