Sen: politically motivated
B.S. Satish Kumar
Bangalore:
Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen on Saturday obliquely defended the West Bengal Government decision to give agricultural land to Tata Motors for setting up a car plant in Singur.
He told The Hindu on the sidelines of a lecture that he delivered here on `Environment and Poverty - Two Worlds or One' that "the benefits will be more," with the implementation of such projects. He termed the opposition to handing over agricultural land for the project "politically motivated."
Resorting to hunger strike was not the way of dealing with economic development, he said. "I am not surprised by this. They are in the Opposition and they have to do this." He said agricultural land adjoining Kolkata were bound to shrink due to expansion of the city.
