The Trinamool Congress' official Twitter handle threw up something rather unusual yesterday evening - a series of tweets on the Tata Group, all of them singing praises for the company and applauding the spectacular relationship the state government shares with it. Now that Narendra Modi has praised Shashi Tharoor and your faith in the existence of miracles has been restored, you might not find them interesting or extraordinary.



But here's the context: not too long ago, two months ago to be precise, Ratan Tata had said that he didn't see any industrial development in West Bengal. A statement that the Trinamool Congress failed to digest and decided to avenge - by calling Tata 'delusional' and saying that he has 'lost his mind'. In fact, West Bengal Finance Minister Amit Mitra suggested that Tata is better off restricting himself to his hobby of flying planes and let the big boys - i.e TMC - do the important work.
