Endless Mystery

"Facts Are Many, But The Truth Is One"

“Decision taken with sadness No factory can be run with police protection and work could be resumed only in a congenial environment We had no other choice but to pull out of West Bengal”- Ratan Tata

"A battle has been lost but not the war.Unfortunately, we are facing a very, very irresponsible Opposition that is creating a serious problem. But I believe one battle is lost; the war is not lost"- Chief Minister

"We’ll try to roll out the car by the year-end"-Ratan Tata

“…If the Nano goes elsewhere, Bengal would become a 'dark spot'” - Sourav Ganguly

"Agreement signed on Sunday in the presence of Governor is final" -- Mamata Banerjee

“All-party meeting should be called to discuss the impasse where attempt should be made to find a solution on the basis of three formulae ~ land for land, adequate compensation and employment”- Priya Ranjan Das Munshi

“... If a group like the Tatas leaves West Bengal it will be unfortunate … a major setback to industrialisation in the State”- Pranab Mukherjee

“The prospect of the project getting off the ground was getting bleaker with each passing day in view of the “unreasonable” stand of the Opposition on return of land to farmers who have not accepted compensation for their plots acquired for the project”—Nirupam Sen

"No country has ever achieved much prosperity on the basis of agriculture alone"- Amartya Sen

“Singur is a problem…but Bengal is not Singur… This is Bengal… Some people may create problems in our path of industrialisation. But no one can stop it because the people want it,” - Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee

“Jiban jakhon shukai jai karuna dharai esho” (when life is parched come upon me with a spirit of mercy), stated the Governor, quoting Tagore

“We do not want war. We want industry,” - Chief Minister

“We will throw the rehabilitation package of the Left Front government into the dustbin,” -Mamata Banerjee

“Time is running out and the company is suffering losses”- Nirupam Sen

"The package offered by the government as a model for other States"- H D Deve Gowda

“I do not think the project will take off if there are further delays” --Prakash Karat

“Tatas should not be stubborn in their attitude, nor should they insist on pulling out their project … is it a child's play to suddenly abandon the project? One thousand acres have been acquired and even if the land is returned, it will not be cultivable for a long time after all that piling work that has been done over there”- Priya Ranjan Das Munshi

“West Bengal as a whole, it would be a huge economic setback, if the Tatas do move out. Its impact would not be confined only to the economic loss from the withdrawal of investments of the Tatas and the ancillary producers, but also from the general sense across India that the politics of West Bengal makes it nearly impossible to base any new economic move in the state, and that the single-minded politics of the street can drive out any new enterprise”- Amartya Sen

“I also appeal to those who are opposing the project to rise above politics and cooperate with the state government in allowing the project to come up in the interest of the people of the state” – Jyoti Basu

“We earnestly want the Singur impasse to be over in the interests of the people and farmers. We also hope good sense will prevail on the state government and the accord signed in the presence of the Governor will be implemented in letter and spirit”- Mamata Banerjee

“The Singur stalemate could be resolved if the Opposition accepted the new rehabilitation package advertised in all newspapers by the state government”- Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee

“We have to be sensitive to the responses of those who lose land and livelihood to projects for industry, housing and infrastructure. Land is limited. Land is precious. Land holds a special value to farmers and their families. It is not impersonal, dematerialized share certificate that you buy and sell with every swing of the Sensex”- Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi

“The Governor is very saddened” by the turn of events. “He too wanted a solution to the problem and ensure a farm-factory balance”- Mamata Banerjee

“People of the state want a solution to the Singur issue. They desire and deserve a solution. Moreover, people have confidence in those who are dealing with the issue… change in every field of life is essential for growth and development of the country”- Gopalkrishna Gandhi

“If Tata pulls out, Trinamool will be solely responsible”- Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee

“I am willing to sit for a thousand discussions with the government if they are aimed at operationalising the agreement”- Mamata Banerjee

"The entire situation of Singur will be changed. The per capita income has gone up and the human development index is almost like Kerala’s. Singur will be another Jamshedpur and all sections will be benefited from this. If the Tatas withdraw... what will happen in Singur.” - Dr. M.S. Swaminathan

“A dialogue should have been held much earlier and not when a crisis was at hand. Policy makers should keep in mind that farming community has a mind of its own and they should think carefully before providing arable land for industrial ventures. The way in which agriculture and industry are seen juxtaposed is not right. There is scope and need for both”-Gopalkrishna Gandhi

“I had said that the agreement signed by both sides speaks for itself. It was felt that there ought to be land-based settlement and some lands in and around the project area could be released/returned. As yet, there has been no agreement regarding the actual area to be returned/given either from within the project area or outside,” a Raj Bhavan statement issued quoted the legal adviser Chittatosh Mookherjee as saying.
