This blogger says the success (?) of Tata Nano is yet another slap for Mamata Banerjee's posturing at Singur which drove Tata out of West Bengal:

The blogger writes,

In the end, the market prevailed. Tata built its car in Gujarat and now a whole generation of people will be able to own their own cars and the freedom of movement that entails. Additionally, people with the Nano will be able to increase their businesses that were previously relegated to scooters or animal-drawn carts. People’s lives have been improved not by poverty pimps like Mamata Banerjee, but by a big corporation, Tata Motors.

The blogger does not mention the pollution the Nano will cause, and the traffic congestions. I hope he does not imply that we leave the running of this country to businessmen. I hope he does not imply that selling off public land to business men for cheap is all good.

See, running a business, earning a livelihood, is a grey area during the best of times.

There is no right, and there are no wrongs.

Moreover, in a democracy, no one can be presumptuous to claim he/she has the found the right way. I hope Ratran Tata remembers the full-page ads he took out in newspapers after the Singur imbroglio.

By that token, let us hand over the reins of the country to a Tata-Relianec-Birla-Infosys combine and shut down the elections, huh?
