CII Western Region’s Post

Alarming situation for businesses in West Bengal once richest state in India know for its industries, I thank our Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman ji for showing facts. Why do investors not feel welcome in West Bengal? Firstly, the law and order situation in #Bengal is in a bad shape. The Syndicate Raj has ruined every prospect for the industries to have a free hand in appropriating the raw materials required. As a result of all this, the business community of Khardah and adjoining areas have gone on strike against the malice of the Syndicate Raj. Second, the issue of connectivity. For industrial development, road connectivity is of great importance; however, in the last 10 years, the #TMC government has not been able to lay even a 100 km of roadways. Thirdly, the extortion or ‘tolabaji’ has forced the Kanojia Group to shut shop in Bengal even before they started their production. In a similar incident, an Exide factory was closed for one week due to extortion. The loss incurred was pegged at around Rs 6 crores. In another instance in Nupur, South 24 Parganas, an IFB Agro Industries plant closed down due to extortion in 2020. According to the North Bengal Industries Association, no heavy industry was established in North Bengal in the year 2021 due to extortion and Syndicate. Though North Bengal has huge potential for industrial growth, it is to be noted that no effort towards the same was made by the state #Government. Bengal was once known for its jute industries, however, between May 2021 and April 2022 around 25 jute mills shut down. As a result of which, many employees lost their jobs. Even Trinamool Congress’s Member of Parliament, Mahua Moitra, remarked that around 7 lakhs youth from the district of Nadia of her own constituency have migrated outside for better opportunities. It’s an alarming number once this state was known for its industries,I hope god will give some sadbudhi to #mamtabanerjee.

CII/commitee which wants feedback but blocks emails sent to it My views are reproduced below One nation one election is a futile debate Having been an observer in 6 Lok Sabha elections in my 35 years in government, I find It’s logistically extremely challenging Why? 1)Trg of staff in millions 2)No of extra evms reqd cost as per economic times ₹8000cr Their safe storage till counting to prevent tampering / replacement is not an easy task as roads hv to be blocked & 24x7 addl security deployment . 3)Need for extra evms in each booth lest any fails 4)Logical legal problems r a) Can u dissolve last 6 assemblies formed over last 1 year prematurely for 2024 simultaneous elections idea b)If no confidence motion passed in any assembly will not Elections be reqd again Also for hung assembly c)Also if 1/3 members of party defection takes place & is found null & void by the court Elections will take place 4d)If it was so easy it would hv been done by now. 5)Only plausible scenario to push it Is for ego sake In conclusion Assemblies where elections are due at the same time as parliament It can be tried , With lots of staff trg & full availability of evms & their storage guaranteed with full security. Otherwise I reiterate It’s a futile move jk dadoo MBA iima 1980 Ias 1983 Retd 2017

Tata has stopped manufacturing Nano cars since 2020 in its Sanand (Gujarat) Plant and has shifted to other models!! Modiji gave huge incentive to TataMotorsLtd in form of a loan in March 2013, for an amount equal to VAT & CST paid by company (₹587 Crore till Jul 2017) at simple interest of 0.1% for 20 years!! This is in addition to the land TML recieved from Modiji i.e. 1,100 Acre @ ₹ 36.42L per acre, just ₹900 per m2)!! As TML has now won the arbitration case against WB Govt of ₹766 Crore and it no more produces the product it was incentivised for; 1. TML should pay back the undue incentives it received to the people of Gujarat. 2. TML should return the land to Guj Govt. In the interest of nation, Tata Nano case is a unique case of nexus between power and capitalists, neglecting the rights of people of Gujarat/India. Someone has well said: ‘So long as greed drives the industries, it's not industrialization, it is vandalization.’

If you remember the INC victory in Himachal was entirely due to efforts of the Vadra team within INC. The ruthless demolition of the Himachal INC government is by design to essentially not let the dynastic families come to power. It seems whatever it takes to win is being employed by Modi—Shah. The goal is total dominance or 2/3 majority in LS, RS and 75% state leadership. As of now it seems, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra, Odisha & Kerala will have other governments. Punjab and Bihar are tentative. Both will be in play as AAP could collapse if AK is taken by ED and BJP plays a great game to deny RLD any success given that the sympathy wave is in their favour. That makes it maximum 7 states out of preview West Bengal will fall. Anti incumbency and the recent issues plaguing Bengal have turned the tide against Mamta. So India is going to be ‘Modimay’ with saffron NDA ruling most of the country. By 2026 my prediction is that Karnataka and Telangana will emerge as political engineering case studies favouring BJP. So the script is very clear you are in power if you support Modi and thrown out if you oppose him. It may seem ruthless and totally dictatorial. But we have to pass several important laws and changes to the constitution. And we need a 2/3 majority. And then we need to run for a substantial period of time to ensure that none of the changes are reversed like the OROP.

The BJP is projected to win 13-15 seats in Bihar while its NDA ally Janata Dal (United) is likely to bag 9-11 seats, according to India Today-Axis My India survey. Chirag Paswan’s LJP is also likely to add handsomely to the NDA tally in the state. On the other hand, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress, which are in alliance under the INDIA banner, will, according to the exit poll, underperform and may get only 7-9 seats.

BJP seems to be doing well in Tamilnadu. Ace Election strategist Prashant Kishor has stated that party may attain double digit vote share. State Party President K.Annamalai Yatra is making waves across the country for his exposing the corruption that has been gripping the state. But the likelihood of both Dravidian Parties teaming up together to defeat him is gaining ground. Both Annamalai and Modi have been targeted by the DMK Machinery. Seems that this has become personality clash between the incumbent CM who will ensure that the prestigious Coimbatore seat is won by any cost. BJP along with allies may end up in double digits. The Prime Minister has relentlessly been visiting Tamilnadu to shore up the fortunes of the party. The party is no longer being viewed as belonging to north. In this election, the focus of the party should have been mismanagement during the Chennai floods, drugs and civic amenities. But the ruling party in the state have cleverly diverted the issue to NEET, Change of Capital from Delhi to Nagpur, Democracy is in Danger. Hope that Prime Minister Narendra Modi Narendra Modi Annamalai K are able to steer up the campaign to pertinent issues to put the ruling dispensation on the backfoot.

As the Lok Sabha polls of 2024 approach, the BJP-led NDA alliance is intensifying its efforts to secure a commanding victory, setting a lofty target of 400-plus seats. With a strategic focus on state-by-state alliances, the NDA has recently welcomed the PMK into its fold in Tamil Nadu and initiated discussions with Raj Thackeray for a potential alliance in Maharashtra. However, not all is smooth sailing for the BJP-led coalition. Key ally Pashupathi Paras's resignation as Union Minister in Bihar has disrupted their plans in the state. Additionally, tensions have arisen in Karnataka, with the JDS expressing dissatisfaction with the ongoing seat-sharing negotiations. This report delves into the intricacies of BJP's alliance-building efforts and the challenges they face in different regions.

My poll before the exit poll. 1. Any losses in Mah, Bihar, Raj & Karnataka will be compensated by gains in UP. 2. The losses in Mah are overstated as people did not know whom to vote for. Meanwhile BJP voters voted for alliance partners while heartedly. This will help retain the seat share in Maharashtra. 3. South & East BJP will improve their seat count dramatically Kerala lotus blooming TN coming of age AP + Telangana storming Odisha + Bengal overturning. And this my friend will lead to 400+ If the vote share goes beyond 40% 425-450 Meanwhile the INDI Allliance is been provided with a Form 17C to March with booth data and make a hue and cry on election day when they lose and try to get this election contested in the courts. What f#%^* losers already. 450 coming
