Bangla, as it is now called, has been on a decline, industrially, since the CPI-M-led Left Front came to power in 1977. The Tata factory in Singur was tom-tommed as a significant step in the new direction — one that would boost investors’ confidence. In 2011 assembly elections the Trinammol Congress rode to power on a landslide victory. The most important stakeholders in this case, the farmers, do not have much to celebrate over the apex court judgment, either. The Singur verdict doesn’t have a winner; hence, there is no chest-thumping or celebratory fireworks.
