Singur protest: Chief minister 'like Hitler'

Kolkata, Jan 2 (ANI): The Trinamool Congress resumed its protest against the state government's move to give land to Tata Motors for a small car plant here on Tuesday.

Activists of Trinamool Congress also enacted the killing of a woman activist, which had added fuel to the protest. The woman Tapasi had died mysteriously and the issue had taken an ugly turn with large-scale violence in Singur, 40 kms north of capital Kolkata, forcing the state government to order a probe.

Trinamool's firebrand chief Mamata Banerjee had gone on an indefinite hunger strike to register her protest. The protestors accused the government of double-crossing their leader. 'The chief minister here behaves like Hitler while Mamata has always fought for the poor, the farmers. She is a messiah of the poor while the government here is joining hands with the capitalists to grab fertile multi-crop farmland."

I cannot tell Ratan Tata - 'Sorry I cannot give you land at Singur',' an impassioned Bhattacharya said.

IMO: Can't see why not. If these horrible little cars spread even more pollution and cause more global warming it will be even worse, very much worse. The entire world will want to see the permanent end of Tata motors, never mind just poor Indian workers. And Tata has done much good in the past, why can't it pull up its socks.
