Singur - Mamta what is your agenda?


Mamata is back at it again. Pre planned and focussed. Focussed that she has to disrupt any proceedings which spell good for the farmers of Bengal. Focussed that potable water, electricity, modern education, employment and the good things of a modern industrial life should not reach or touch the lives' of thousands of farmers.
She is very focussed that these farmers shall remain trapped in the vicious cycle of growing potatoes and rice, as their forefathers did. That they toil and till this land and earn their pittance of a livelihood, till their life juices are sapped out. That their children remain uneducated and as the farm land becomes fragmented, when it is unable to feed the growing number of mouth's, then they shall migrate to the metro cities of Kolkatta and Delhi working as menial labourers - as rickshaw pullers, car washers and the daughters as maids and ayahs. That is how Focussed Mamata is. She is extremely sure, that nothing is done for these people. That no development should touch their lives. That they never have any chance to an education and enter the portals of IIT's and IIM's. That they too have ownership of a good living, that they too drive their own cars. She prefers them hanging on the rods of polluting, filthy local buses in the scorching heat. Of all these things Mamata is very sure. Why else, would she not sign the register at the entry gate of the all party meet on May 24, 2007 ?
Obviously she was to walk out. Why else were her only demands - to sack the police officials responsible for the lathi charge last week and that Buddhadeb should resign? Where was her charter for the poor of Singur and Nandigram? Does she not know that industry will bring in its wake a good modern life for these people? If Industry be such a four letter word for her, then does she have any alternative solution for the upliftment of these people? Do you have it Mamata di ? Or is your focus only the Chief Minister's chair - By Hook or by Crook?

Mamta,can we have an answer???

Mamta, please stand up and answer. Ooppss you are not the one who will do it because your motives are crystal clear. This is the only trump card you have now to prove some worth in otherwise your useless life.
