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.

Mamata Banerjee = No Ideology

Trinamool Congress - The Party Has No Manifesto
Dear Readers,

Yesterday, we signed off with the note as to how opportunist Mamata is, and if at all her existence had any ideology. So to be fair, we conducted an in-depth online search and we came up with few gems, which only Mamata and Trinamool could have offered.

The party has online presence and it can be found on the URL - http://www.trinamoolcongress.com/

Amazingly, while all kinds of categories have been created under many heads, the site does not have any mention of the party manifesto or ideology. Though a section called –‘Party Constitution’ is present, but has a vague two introductory paragraphs of what the party stands for. Apart from those 12 lines the rest of the document is on – How to become a party member etc etc. Obviously a party that came into being trying to broker power had to be without any ideology.

We paste below the two skimpy paragraphs that describe the philosophy of this party. It is word obese and its vagueness will surely bring upon a smile. So Cheers here we go –

AIM

Article I - The aim of the Party shall be to make all round development of India in the political, economic, industrial, social, cultural, agricultural sectors and to establish India as global power keeping in view the multilingual, multifaceted, multiethnic, rich culture and heritage of India.
Objective
Article II - The objective of the Party shall be (a) To uphold and adhere, with true faith and allegiance, to the Constitution of India as by law established.(b) To uphold and work for the furtherence of the principles of Nationalism, Socialism, Secularism and Democrary. (c) To eradicate illeteracy, poverty and injustice and cause upliftment of the downtrodden by ensuring social equality, awakening of the masses by peaceful means, movement and participation in the lawful electoral process


We leave you today at this, but for more laughs you can log on to the Trinamool website and enjoy.

Mamata - Most corrupt politician 2007

Mamata - The new breed of Aaya Ram & Gaya Ram
We had heard of the concept of Aaya Ram & Gaya Ram’s, but thought that by dint of certain parliamentary processes and laws the same had become a past tense. However we were brutally shocked to realize that some power hungry politicos still are practicing the same formula albeit in a subtle way, though shameless about it. So shameless, that they have the audacity to try and justify it to the common voter. But the question is - who could be that politician, who is so power hungry, who is bereft of any ideology and is leading the common man to darkness and doom.

Our fear came true when the one and only name that cropped up was – Mamata Banerjee. Not that anybody had ever underestimated her. She is the shining light of senseless blabber, total lack of any vision and ideology. But that she would stoop so low? Even we were surprised.
Here was Mamata, all joining the NDA. And why? – The most stupid reason she had proclaimed then - Out of sheer respect for Atal Bihari Vajpayee. We wonder was it Bajpayee or was it because BJP was in power? Today BJP is in a bad shape and the electoral equations have changed. So now Mamata does a somersault and is flirting up the Congress. She feels that the fallout among the Congress and Left over the Nuclear Deal has a window opening. The bad Congress and Left relations mean that she could win some seats in West Bengal with Congress support. Additionally BJP has a Hindutva face – A big NO No when it comes to Muslim votes. So disassociating with NDA reflects as her being Pro Muslim. But sadly Mamata, every Indian can see through the charade you are trying to play. We sympathise with the gullible TMC followers in the interiors who are too innocent to see through this rigmarole game of yours and understand that all you want is a piece of power for your own benefit. And that’s all you care or ever cared for - your own Self.

We just hope may God give the simple folk the understanding to see through your chameleon colors.

We shall be back again with more power hungry moves of Mamata as she commits the transgressions, which she almost does on a daily basis. We sign off till then dear readers.

Mamata - You are the brick in the wall - You need education

Mamata stop misinforming the public !!
Dear Readers,

Yesterday we signed off on the note that we shall come back with expert opinion on the Chemical Hub. Today we have for you all critical questions answered by the experts who know it all. The questions deal with all aspects – starting from the need of a chemical hub, to why West Bengal has been chosen, how it will benefit the people by way of employment and otherwise, to the most important question of all - safety of having a chemical hub.

We for one do not doubt the experts and like Mamata would not like to infringe into territory unknown, specially subjects which are highly specialized. Mamata has her own agenda – To oppose any and everything that would lead to progress and a better life for millions in Bengal. Our perspective is different - We want to see a flourishing Bengal.

At the end, dear readers we leave you to decide on your own once you have read the answers given below:

What is Chemical Hub?

It’s an integration of chemical, petrochemicals and other related industries under one roof. The end product of one can be used as the raw material of another industry.

Is chemical hub a new concept?
Not at all. When the petrochemical project was set up in Haldia, it was decided that the project would be expanded. This 60’s thought is now being implemented.

Why is there a need of a Chemical Hub?

India’s production of petrochemical products is much less than any other countries in the world. Hence, we have to import petrochemical products. However, it’s important to reduce this dependency on import. This industry not only caters to our daily requirements, but also plays a significant role in increasing the economy of the state/country.

What are the products?

All the bi products of Naphtha based chemicals are made into Polymer, Textiles, Synthetic Rubber, Engineering instruments, Milk Packet, Mobile Cover, medicines etc.



Are the Western countries pressurizing the hub to be set up in India?

It is really hilarious the situation is quite opposite. If we become self-sufficient we would not have to import products from Western Countries.


Why West Bengal?
Geographically, it’s suitable. West Bengal is one the seven states that feature in the list prepared by a high-powered committee of the Government. Haldia already has a petrochemical industry. Moreover there is the advantage of having a port.

Employment Opportunities?
Around 1-lac direct and indirect job opportunities.

Total Investment required?
Initial investment of Rs.12, 000 crores is required for setting up infrastructure. IOC is willing to invest Rs.20, 000 cr. Deep-sea port will also be set up. More investments to follow once the hub is set up. Such huge investments would translate as excellent infrastructure and overall economic development of the state for one and all.

Is it possible to set up the hub at Nayachar?
There is no problem in setting up a hub on an island. A petrochemical hub was set up six years ago in Singapore with an investment of 200 million dollars.

How reasonable is the apprehension about the environment?

No project is set up without the environment clearance. There is no reason for apprehension. Many people have opposed the use of plastic. But the steering wheel of the car that they ride in is also made of plastic! From toothbrush to water pipes everything is made up of plastic.

YET ANOTHER BATTLE LOST FOR MAMATA

More Good News For West Bengal – Chemical Hub


It was a sigh of relief for lakhs of Bengalis across the state when the All party Meet on the proposed chemical hub, came to an end on 3rd Sept. People had been waiting for some good news and it came – All the political parties in the state had given their go ahead for the chemical hub, and now it was to be set up in Nayachar. Smiles lit up on every face as this news poured in. For Bengal, this was the next piece of - Good News, the last being – when the Tata’s chose the state for their small car unit. The go ahead for the chemical hub, translates for the common man as - more employment, more money and better infrastructure. In a nutshell a better lifestyle - a lifestyle that everyone wants to have – a standard of living which today more then half of the population are enjoying in the central, northern and southern parts of the country, but Bengal is still aspiring for it. The sole reason – Industrialization, which in turn brings in overall progress, has escaped Bengal. But now it seems everything will change for a better Bengal. But surely, you will always have one detractor – Mamata Bannerjee who would throw mud at any attempt towards progress for West Bengal.But by now, the people of Bengal have realized what’s good for them, and don’t pay heed to useless canker thrown up by self styled activists and politicians. At the end - empty words don’t feed anybody.

To know more about the proposed chemical hub, we took upon ourselves to send a questionnaire to chemical scientists and await the answers. Once the answers are in we shall post it for all of you.

Singur Gone, Nandigram going, going - - - - - - going - - -



In any democracy, people have the last word. Whatever be the issues raised, whatever points made by all opposing candidates and parties, the end result is the indicator as to the wish of the people. The “blown out of proportion” problems created by Trinamool and its leader – Mamata Bannerjee has now taken the ultimate beating - that of the people. Clearly the people have voted for the Tata small car factory in Singur and given their -Go Ahead - for the SEZ, which had to be stalled few months back.

How else can one explain the panchayat elections 2 months back and the municipal elections declared just yesterday? In the Panchayat elections, Trinamool suffered a backlash they had not even dreamt of. Maximum seats were won by the CPI (M). – (You can get the complete details in a previous blog written then). And now, the just held municipal elections have sounded the death knell for opposing the SEZ at Haldia. Out of a total 25 wards, the Trinamool had trumpeted a clean sweep. But, Alas! The people decided otherwise. Out of 25 seats, CPI (M) bagged an overwhelming 17 and their front partner CPI won 2 seats, thus taking the total to 19 seats. This victory has great significance as the Left Front had campaigned on the plank of industrialization and development, while the opposition Trinamool took the high road and highlighted the police firing in Nandigram and the govt’s. “ So called forcible” acquisition of land in Singur for Tata Motor’s small car plant. The people have given their choice - industrialization and development is what they want.

And though, Mamata may try to belittle this win by terming it as local and only at the municipal level and not state level – then she would have missed the point totally. It’s at the grassroots level. The issue was raised at the grassroots and is now dying at the grassroots.

For the Trinamool and Mamata the oracle is very clear – Bow out, before you are Thrown out.
