Even Trinamool leaders have admitted that Singur would be impacted if the Tatas leave, but not too much.
"I want the Tata plant too but I am not too desperate - the problems of the locals have to be solved and the future of the unfortunate people who lost their land has to be secured," said Shefali Malik, a Trinamool leader and a panchayat office bearer.
Singur town itself displayed all the signs of sudden prosperity with many huts converted into two-storied buildings.
