The BJD-CPI-CPI(M)-NCP alliance may results in smart and compassionate Industrialization of Orissa
Elections 2009, INDUSTRY and INFRASTRUCTURE March 28th. 2009, 7:56pmDuring the last several years, many of the industrialization projects, such as POSCO, Tata Steel project in Kalinganagar, and even the Vedanta University project were drastically slowed down because of protests organized or led by the communist parties. For political reasons the opposers would not come and properly discuss a give-n-take with the Orissa government. With the BJD-CPI-CPI(M) alliance there is a chance that at least the opposers led by the CPI and CPI-M will join the (hopefully) BJD government in a discussion and will be less rigid in their stand and win-win solutions would be arrived at that will be good for the locals and good for the industrialization of Orissa. In addition if BJD supports UPA at the center then Congress may not create much trouble, and with BJP having very little influence in these regions, these and other projects, including land acquisition for various Railway projects, could proceed faster with changes that will safeguard the interests of the locals.

I don’t think so. If left was favourable to development then W.B. and Kerala would have been one of the developed industrialized states with good job opportunities. Most of the Leftist leaders don’t support development and industrialization. When BJD decided to part ways with the BJP one of the MLA from CPI(M) said and I quote “Finally Naveen realized that Orissa does not need POSCO”.
