Mamta Banerjee and the other farmers who have a bee in their bonnet regarding the Tata Nano's uncomfortable seat covers have finally suspended their protests.

This little change of heart came after the government of West Bengal state offered them all KitKats and promised to return some of the land in Singur where Tata's now deserted plant gathers dust.

In case you didn't already know, Tata, after being poked, prodded, bullied and taunted stopped work last week on the Singur plant that was churning out brand new samples of the Tata Nano, the world's cheapest car.

Gopalkrishna Gandhi, the governor of West Bengal said, "The government has taken the decision to respond to the demand of those farmers who have not received compensation."

Mamta Banerjee was visibly pleased with her share of Kitkats and described this agreement a Big Victory. Tata, who wanted Dairy Milks did not wish to take any part in the talks between the West Bengal government and the protesters.

One other upset person is West Bengal C.M Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, who had doled up an ambitious plan to revive the industry. He had hoped that his state's image of being hostile to industry would be changed for good after saving Rs 1,500 crore from the Nano project. He's surely had his Kitkats.
