CPM central leadership has directed its West Bengal unit to redouble efforts to regain the trust, which makes it clear that the state leadership was not enough to arrest the party down in the state, which was reflected in the Liberals poor showing in local elections.

If the central leadership gave a "Pull up your socks" rap for Bengal comrades during the two-day meeting of the Politburo, led General Secretary Prakash Carat him some criticism for the tactical line that he Liberals' withdrawal of support to the UPA-I in 2008 .

Given the downturn in civic polls, was the central leadership of the opinion that many of the corrective measures identified by the 2009-Lok Sabha elections were not fully implemented in Bengal.

"The West Bengal Committee will conduct a review of the election that the necessary political and organizational measures can be taken to restore confidence in the share of people who have moved away from the party," said a CPM statement at the end of a two-day meeting.

While the preparation of the draft political report to the next expanded Central Committee - convened since the congress was postponed - the tactical line of the party after the UPA-Left break-up came into question. Some members felt that participate hands with unpredictable partners - read the BSP and the Samajwadi Party - was not in favor of the party.

Sources said that the draft was not completed and the Politburo - who is scheduled to meet again next month - would continue the talks.

Politburo also demanded that the UPA government should table the follow-up report on recommendations from the Ranganath Mishra Commission.

Left Front is busy defeat their wounds after the thrashing in West Bengal municipal elections in the hands of Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress.

Sunday's result of municipal election seems to be a green signal for the Trinamool supporters after 34 years of Red rule in the state. Trinamool supporters take a victory rally, which went right in front of the Communist Party of India-Marxist office in Kolkata. There was a clear suggestion that the red castle was lost.

"We need to revise the community poll results and the need to examine what is wrong and look within ourselves and to the right in ourselves. Liberals must think about the interests of people and we need to adopt such programs. Will try to repair this damage, says Left Front chairman Biman Bose.

But it may be too little too late. Slide that began in 2008 Panchayat polls followed by aircraft in 2009 Lok Sabha elections seen as a referendum on the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee government's aggressive industrialization continues.

CPI-M's internal review had blamed the erosion of Muslim votes and haughtiness of the party cadres among the most important factors. After Trinamool's resounding victory, the CPI-M is under pressure to look for a silver line.

"We have not been able to reverse the slide, but has been unable to arrest it," senior CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury said.

But neither a re-look at the acquisition of property or the promise of reservations in jobs for Muslims seems to have worked with voters. After 34 years of communalist rule West Bengal think it is thirsty for "pariborton" (change).

There is no doubt that there is a massive anger against the Liberals, not only from the voters, or the public, but also from the liberal supporters make a political rotate would be almost impossible.
The next challenge for the Liberals will be the Assembly elections in 2011.

With a crushing Mamata and no clear instantaneous solutions available before the peers, the next few months will be very easier said than done for the Left in West Bengal.

Almost two years after it was forced to move the factory for the production of "the world's cheapest car" Nano from West Bengal's Singur middle protests against land gaining, Tata Motors Wednesday inaugurated the new Nano plant in Gujarat's Sanader.

The new factory in Sanader was inaugurated by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata, who seven years ago dreamed of creating an affordable family car for the ordinary man.

"When I came here first in an industrial visit invited by Gujarat Chief Minister, I was told that if they (the Nano plant) is not in Gujarat, I'll be a fool.

"I'm no longer stupid for investing in plant in Gujarat," said Tata at the opening of the factory.

Spread over about 1100 acres, the area of Sanader has been created on the n investment of around Rs 2000 crore.

Speaking on the occasion, Modi said: "The revolution comes with Ford in the early 20th century with small car now being copied by Ratan Tata with his Nano."

Every middle class families dream of owning a car is met by Sanader at the inauguration of Nano plant, "he added.

Ratan Tata's dream to create a car that costs only Rs one lakh crore had challenges - both technical and political - since it was conceived in 2003.

At a time when costs were rising, with production in a comfortable mini-car powered by a 623cc engine that provides a competitive miles, was a big enough challenge for the engineers of Tata Motors.

While Tata was able to overcome it, the group does not make political challenge from the Trinamool Congress, and had to move industrial output from its original location at Singur in West Bengal to Sanader in Gujarat in October 2008. Tata, at that time had already set over Rs 1,000 crore in Singur.

The delay not only the original plans for the commercial launch of Nano in about five months, but also affected availability.

Till the time Sanader plant was finished, the company went ahead with the limited production of Nano - touted as world's cheapest car with a factory-gate price of Rs 1,00,000 (slightly over $ 2000) - from Pant Nagar in Himachal Pradesh.

Bookings for the car was opened in April 2009 and deliveries began in July of that year. It has so far delivered more than 35,000 units. But only the first 1,00,000 customers are sure to get the car on an ex-factory price of Rs 1,00,000.

Sanader The plant has capacity to produce 2.5 lakh units a year, which can later be increased to five lakh units a year. Pilot commercial production of Nano on Sanader has already begun.
