KOLKATA: (Jan 15) Politics in West Bengal appeared to have come full circle as the BJP chose the land, where the Tata Nano factory once stood in Singur in Hooghly district, for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s January 18 rally, making a renewed push around the state’s chequered industrial past and missed economic opportunities.

Gearing up to go full throttle on its poll campaigns to take on the TMC, BJP leaders are hoping that Modi’s Singur address would include a generic vision on the path to attract big-ticket investments to Bengal, piggybacking on the lasting perception that the state has remained industry-starved since the exit of the small car project.

The site chosen by the party for the PM’s rally, months ahead of the assembly polls, is overtly symbolic and best suited for the party’s messaging to debunk the TMC regime’s performance in attracting business and share its counter vision to reviving industry in Bengal, if it comes to power.
