Mamata had again to be put on oxygen. The doctors attending on her said her blood pressure had dropped to 96/52, coupled with low pulse rate, chest pain and muscle cramp.

Her condition is worrisome, the doctors said, adding that though Mamata needed to take some oral fluids, she had refused it.

Mamata Banerjee ended her fast after 25 days - but not before making Singur land acquisition and reckless industrialisation a national issue.

IMO: Best to 'run away and live to fight another day'. I am really glad she may be back with us. What the world may need is a new Rosa Luxembourg / Mahatma Gandhi / Che Guavara style figure And the land is valuable. Some (hopefully all) of it may be swapped for less valuable land. It is not in the world's interests for valuable agricultural land to be used for making stinky small cars. Tata could benefit themselves and their shareholders by building truly pollution free small cars. Even Michael Dell, Schwarzegger and many others are trying to show the way forward. Tata should try to grasp real investment opportunities and not create further pollution. Even the Chinese are getting sick and tired of pollution already, and they do not even have democracy yet.
