About a month back I had argued that my candidate for India\u2019s PM<\/a> would be Narender Modi. I still stand by it and to my surprise and amazement, Ratan Tata also seems to feel that this guy acted the fastest amongst all the executives of the States. And it did not involve coercion or apathy towards the farmers but taking them along as this news item<\/a> amply showed!<\/p>\n

The time it took for Gujarat to get the clearances and put together a package for Tatas surprised them and helped them make their decision.<\/p>\n

Tata Motors MD Ravi Kant said it took Gujarat just 10 days to tie up all the loose ends \u2014 make the land ready for possession, get all clearances and approvals and offer a final deal. Tata said his company decided to take up the offer \u201clate last evening\u201d, and he was here the next day to sign an MoU with the state government. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It also prompted Ratan Tata to make a very RARE political statement for a senior businessman (and a Parsi) like him!<\/p>\n

There is a bad M and a good M and we have made the transition<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2026. he said in an obvious reference to Mamata and Modi.

\nBut it just wasnt the speed, Gujarat actually gave a MUCH better deal for them as well \u2013 which showed the the willingness of Gujarat\u2019s executive team to do \u201cwhatever it takes\u201d to bring a \u201cgame-changing\u201d industry player into their own midst! Everyone knows that car plants actually lead to far more smaller industries than just that plant! It leads to smaller suppliers who try to locate themselves near by and also adds to more employment. THAT is what Modi\u2019s team may have looked at as well! And THAT is what the Red Commies JUST cannot get!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
