Another Nano reduced to ashes

Another Nano in flames. This time in Delhi, Aurobindo Marg.

Barely three months after Tata Motors certified the Nano “absolutely safe”, in a first in Delhi, a car went up in flames at a parking lot in Aurobindo Marg on Friday. The driver managed to get out on seeing sparks; in all of two minutes, only a charred frame remained.

The car, which belonged to a Supreme Court advocate, had just pulled into the parking lot around 11.30 am when driver Patrick John noticed sparks in the rear, where the engine is located. “I was waiting in the car, having just parked it, when sparks started coming out. Thankfully, I managed to leap out of the car in time. The car was destroyed in two minutes flat,” said John.
Two similar incidents were reported in Vadodara and Mumbai earlier this year following which Tata Motors launched an inquiry. In May, it said the accidents were due to unrelated reasons and that the car was safe.

Another nano catches fire in Gujarat

The going seems to be getting tough for the world’s cheapest car, as a Tata Nano caught fire today near Boriyavi village in Anand on the way to be delivered in Vadodara. This is in quick succession to the incident in Mumbai last month when another brand new Nano was reduced to ashes after its buyer just drove it out of the showroom.

A fleet of eleven Tata Nanos were being driven to be delivered in Vadodara when the incident took place in National Highway 8 earlier during the day.

A newly purchased Nano had reportedly caught fire last year in September while it was parked near Rajpath Club on Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway.

Brand new Nano in flames

Nano, the India’s most ugliest and the world’s so called cheapest  car again in news. A brand new Nano caught fire within minutes of drive. The car was being driven by an employee of the dealer after delivery. Suddenly, there was smoke  coming from the car’s rear, where the Nano’s engine is housed. The driver slammed the brakes and the owner Mr. Sawant and those accompanying jumped out of the car, a wise move because within minutes the vehicle was engulfed in flames. As if it got immolated itself for unbearable insult due to its ugly look.

Now we thank Mamata Banerjee who made Tata to close the Nano factory near Kolkata and go elsewhere. We felt it that time. But after seeing Nano, the look and its quality, we now realise that we feel lucky for not being tagged with such a product. It is such a terrible ugly car. Now, with all these ‘reputation’ Tata wants to increase the price of Nano.

Tata wanted to give a car to scooterist  families so that in rainy season they don’t get drenched and reach safely to their destination. it was a noble idea no doubt but such quality of car  may not take them home safely instead they may be burnt on their way. Mr. Sawant and his wife were lucky enough to  save themselves by jumping out of the car in time.

Tata made the public crazy (though it is down now and it will be further down) by its cost of one lakh . But  public  should realise the consequences of cheaper items. Mr. Sawant purchased a LX model Nano which costed him 2+lakhs and it turned into ashes in minutes of driving. First of all people who are spending 2L why going for Nano ?  With this amount good second hand vehicles are available in the market which will be far far better than the Nano. There is no sense of going for a Nano. People should know that it is the most ugliest car ever manufactured in India.

Enough is enough

Enough is enough. People of Bengal are fade up of vote bank politics of some immature leaders. Their statement gives clear indication that they are not bothered if Tata goes from here. They just doing their best to turn a promising industry to another graveyard in Bengal.

As per media news, Tatas have decided to leave Singur. The decision is reported to have been made by the Tata management and the Bengal government has been informed. But Tatas are likely to make a public announcement next week unless something dramatic happens very soon which seems unlikely.

The West Bengal Government has shown signs of defeat. Nirpupam Sen, the Industries Minister of West Bengal on Tuesday acknowledged that the prospects of the Nano project in Singur are becoming bleaker by the day. And it seems Tata’s top brass has already taken that final call, sources say that an internal decision to shift out of Singur has already been cleared. So, there will be no turning back for Tata.

The Trinamul leaders are sticking to their demands hoping that their stubborn stand will pay dividends in rural Bengal in the forthcoming parliamentary election. Naturally what matters for them if Tata opts out of Singur and another graveyard is added to Bengal ?

This is politics but this time it may boomerang

The state of West Bengal is passing through a difficult times. All the developments and industrialization process may be at grinding halt due to some irresponsible movements by the few politicians. The state is always politically active but this movement is unprecedented and most damaging to the image of the state. The upcoming Nano factory at Singur has been closed before completion of its construction and the situation there has forced TATA to rethink about the project. Their workers were stopped and threatened and the most important NH2 was blocked for days. The damage what was inevitable due to the irresponsible movement of the political parties at Singur, has been successfully done by them. The movement for ‘land for land’ for the unwilling farmers itself is a unpractical demand. If this demand is met, then it will become a precedence for the future and no development in the state could be done. The mood of the agitating parties shows that they are not bothered for the development of the state, because they want to project themselves as the savior of the farmers, just for a narrow political mileage.

The industry-pro environment was created in the state by the present Chief Minister shri Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and to turn “anti” to “pro” took few years. But the agitating parties and their irresponsible movement ruined pro environment in few days and it will not be surprised if the decade old ‘industrial draught’ condition comes back in the state, if TATA forced to withdraw his project from Singur. The indications are coming of similar nature, because during last few days, investors have shown their concern and apprehension and they are rethinking.

Inspite of all these how the agitating party can say that they too want industrialization in the state. Their words or wish (at least for Singur) are not matching with their activities. The package offered by the Government is very much attractive and there are still rooms for negotiations. But the agitating leaders have just rejected the package and they are sticking to ‘Land for land’ demand. It again shows that the leaders are aiming for their narrow gains only and not the interest of the farmers and the state. The agitating party should understand that their adamancy now goes against the interest of the poor farmer and this will boomerang on them and the resultant political mileage may be zero from this movement.

Suicidal movement to “ta” “ta” to Nano from Singur

During last few years, a new chapter has started in the state’s industrialization by Shri Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, Chief Minister. Since then the atmosphere of the state started changing. He relentlessly is trying to change the scenario of the state. Inspite of allodds, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee successfully has brought some changes in the scenario of Industrialization of West Bengal. And Ithink it is just because of his own image tothe Industrialists and nothing else helped for such changes. Thats how Tata came here for his Nano factory.Its not that Tatas are not aware of the history andwork culture of this state. Despite of all doubts Tata presented the Nano project to this state just because of Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee. We all should be proud for this project since the Nano car has becomean international issue. We should feel lucky that such an international car will be rolling out from our Singur. This will make Singur known to the world.

 

Today the Nano project at Singur has become uncertain just because of some senseless agitation of Trinamul Congress Party demanding return of 400 acres of land to the farmers. The party which is shedding crocodile’s tears for the farmers, is already known for their suicidal, directionless politics in the state. Its nothing new for the state. The party has got an issue and they want to stick to that for some political gain out of that. They never want anything good for the affected farmers or the state. Had they wanted it , they would have brought the farmers at fore front to dialogue with the state government and resolve the issue of injustice, if any. But they don’t want to resolve it, and their aim is for some narrow political gain out of the situation. We are not bothered for their political gains or games what they are playing, but we are definitely worried for the cost, the state has to pay for their silly politics.

 

Nano project at Singur has become part of life of many people of Singur today. Young generation, who are in colleges, technical Institutes under going training, of nearby areas have started weaving their dreams with Nano project as many job opportunities are in the pipelines. They are looking forward for the Nano project to complete and secure a job in any company there. They are dreaming of a better life, better environments, better society which will come up with the developments of that area alongwith Nano factory and other ancilliary industries in and around Singur.The Scenario of those villages will totally change in few months. But senseless, suicidal, directionless and selfish politics of Trinamul Congress will shatter all hopes ofIndustrialization started in the state and this will send a negative message to the world.

 

The demands of the agitating party, if genuine for the poor farmers, they should have come forward for discussion with a practical, negotiable and compromising solution in the greater interest of the farmers as well as of the state. But it seems to that they want to keep the issue live with an aim to their Vote Bank.If Tata wind up the project, a grave situation will arise in the state and all hopes of industrialization will end here. After that, what will the fate of those 400 acres of land ? If Tata goes from Singur, one good thing will happen that Mamata Banerjee will lose the issue for their senseless politics.

 

God may help Mamata to understand the greater interest of the people of the state and be wise to protect that. At least she should have some sense to understand that her adamancy and senselessmovement going against her and creating sympathy to the ruling party only.
