Mamata Banerjee - Congress to NDA and back again.

Mamata and her 'Sic' politics

Just a week back, Mamata forgot to maintain her ‘false’ firebrand image, and the chameleon showed its true colors. In the most vague way, she gave out the message that she was now disassociating herself with the NDA (BJP) and was looking ahead to forge relationship with UPA (CONGRESS). Nobody was surprised, knowing that Mamata only plays the politics of opportunism. And then a ping-pong ball is paddled from one court to the other. If only Mamata had the looks, she would have been a social climber.

But Mamata’s move should not surprise anybody. To jog you down the memory lane – In 2001, just five weeks before the West Bengal assembly elections, she ditched the BJP, her ally in two successive Lok Sabha elections, and embraced the Congress, on which she had once bestowed the epithet of "B-team" of the ruling Left Front. Banerjee had joined Congress hoping to win many seats in the elections. Even before the counting of votes for the May assembly elections in West Bengal had begun, she was flashing the "V" sign before television cameras. She had even made plans to hold the swearing-in ceremony of her cabinet in the open air on Brigade Parade Ground. But, it turned out otherwise and she won only 60 seats in the 294-member Assembly. With egg on her face at the hustings, the Congress alliance came to an end. So for Mamata, U turns are nothing new. The only problem she faces now is that the voter too understands what she is doing, and nobody wants an opportunist in the Drivers Seat.

We can only advise and repeat the words that Napoleon had said when retreating from Moscow – “There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous"

Mamata, we hope you are taking notes.

Mamata Bannerjee has no character

Dear Readers,

This is really not a blog post, but a reply to a query. While we were inundated with phone calls congratulating us by scores of our readers as to the – funniest and crudest website that Trinamool Congress has put up, one of our readers asked if we were not committing a case of – Character Assassination? Well, our reply to the question is very simple – You can assassinate a character; when one does exist. Unfortunately, Mamata is no mettle and no character. She is just a rabble-rouser and trouble brewer – and that’s her – only character.

We would further request the reader to have a “dekho” at the Trinamool website and we assure – you shall have no further doubts.

Few of the gems we would highlight:

Mamata is the daughter of a legendary freedom fighter. All the history annals will provide you with no clue at all, as to what her father did for the independence struggle?

Mamata, has written about 15 odd books both in the - Queens language and in Bangla – “Please don’t fall off the chair laughing”

She has written a song and also imparted music for the same. “ She could have chosen the alternative career of a song writer”

Such and many more laughs are on your way. Just log on to the site, and check out -what a "false character making attempt" it is by Mamata Bannerjee.
