Recently TamilNadu govt. and TATA signed MOU for setting up Titanium Di Oxide plant factory in South TamilNadu bordering Kanyakumari and Tuthukudi district. Investments worth around 2500 Cr planned for plant, would have created more jobs, business opportunity for the local people. But as usual, strong opposition from various political parties and interests groups against setting up of plant. Even AIADMK jumped to protest, AMMA said herself will lead the protest against setting up of plant. Under these circumstances, to avoid possible violence in that area like in Nandigram, West Bengal, Kalaignar decided to stop the project for time being and decided to get the mood of the people in that area about this project.
As a principal opposition party, we can understand AIADMK opposing this project, but Communist, PMK opposing this project just to shows they slowly want to get out of the DMK alliance. PMK for some time always acting against industrial activity in TamilNadu. Kalaignar has to drop 2 satellite towns around Chennai which was planned to reduce load on ever increasing Chennai city as PMK was against it. TamilNadu govt want to extend the existing Chennai airport for building new world class airport but again on the pressure from PMK, new greenfield airport is shifted to SriPerumdur. Only thing communist know is to criticize against people in govt. I personally don't like idea of getting land from people by government for industry group, not properly rehabilitating the land owners, but just for political reasons we cant stop the development activity. TamilNadu is considered to better off than any state in implementation of SEZ and other industrial development, these recent happenings are setting bad trend.
We want to more assertive goverment in dealing with these kind of issue, not bulging to the pressure from various parties. We wish this goverment be determined in implementation of infrastructure projects and attracting new industries as they implementing free tv for poor scheme. TamilNadu would be better of if every poor family gets a free toilet instead of free color TV.
