Congress must go for independents and small allies.
by trueIndian on May 18, 2009 06:47 AM

Congress must go for independents and small allies... Do not join hands with left and let down the people who have voted you in.. expecting change... also smaller groups ( DMK TMC etc.. ) must think of development of India as a country.. and not limit themselves to there own states... we need development everywhere... ( need of the hour ) we must change.. for good

Vote Gale, Vote Lesons I
by Mrinal Dasgupta on May 18, 2009 06:46 AM

No party, psephologist or pundit could predict or sense the Vote gale that has been blowing along the Congress way. Ignore the claims by parties or the sweet desires of politicians. Even those guesstimates that nearly reached the final outcome at least in parts should also be ignored. where there was no breeze where and how could the gale come from, one wonders.
If the Vote Gale is the proximate cause what is the penultimate cause. It has been argued that the populist measures of the UPA govt has gone in their favour. But the role of welfare economists like Amit Bhaduri and the insistence of the Left in the Parliament and outside have not reached the heart of the people. But the logic behind Left's insistence and withdrawing the support for the UPA on the issue of nuclear power pact has not been appreciated by the Middle Class and has been ignored by the majority of voters who matter - the poor people who earn their rice or roti with the daily wage if they have any. The immediate experience of these people become relevant at least on the day of election.
They go by their experience rather than by the promises made or the grave consequences projected for the future.
The Media should learn how to give the hard news rather than taking side and stop being partisan under the cover of being without bias. They were telling that there were no issues this time. The issue was thei
The psephologists should amend their methodologies.

First of all, try to write a little correct English - at least the innumerable typos are just too much.

What Sudipta wrote is very correct. CPM has ruined the state - once the most prosperous and the intellectual hub of India. It has became a backward state. I am not sure how many people really likes Mamata and TMC, but all they wanted to see a change and give a lesson to the CMP, for their atrocities and complete disregard and disrespect of public opinion, including court. Singur and Nadigram only two added fuel to that.

Now, whether Mamata is corrupt or not? Though personally I am little apprehended to see her as our CM. Because, it seems she can only 'protest' whatever the CPM proposes, besides can only 'shout' but can not 'talk', specially logically. But at least never heard any story of corruption about her. So, if you are upset about the big bashing CPM got this time, lick your wound and when things will settle down, try to find the numerous wrongdoings your party had done so far, and if you are member of that party, try to change that. The message from the public is very clear this time - 'enough is enough, good or bad, we want a change'.

There is hardly any intelligent person in WB will believe your logic. So, next time come with some valid points.

Please specify which are the corruption cases against Mamata Banerjee?? Everyone knows in this world that if there is one good quality the lady has is her personal honesty. I wonder from where you come??? People like you who are the disciples of the evil left front are the ones responsble for the downfall of Bengal through more than three decades since 1977. Those people who themselves turned West Bengal into a wasteland through militant trade unionism and populist policies do not deserve to talk about industrial resurgence. People like you must have personal and vested interests or some special favours from CPIM/Left that makes you talk like this. The left front turned the entire educated /intellectual population of West Bengal as their party cadres and blinded their eyes. This population have lost the ability to think independently and have become unproductive.

Mr Sudipta sarkar are you a victim of the left "tyranny" over the 32 years period??...that means you are over 50 years old rt???? and seen all the "atrocities" committed by left...
Then as per your analysis I believe your son or daughter would also say oh this 5 year of TC stint has ruined any further prospect of educated youth in Bengal..and then he will probably ask you why left front was voted to power in 1977......

The above imagination was a result of my curiosity, that as to why no body ask what happened to Bengal after 2000 and not before that...but TC follower has a 32 years tag always ready in their defence....perhaps you introspect on this points...

UPA and Trinamool should thank Karat...
by Partha Choudhury on May 18, 2009 05:18 AM

With an enemy like Karat, who needs friends. If he didn't break away from UPA, Congress wouldn't have had pact with Trimaool in WB and hence CPM would have retained their seat. If CPM is deated in WB, then it's Karat's doing.

Left lost because they support CHINA not India
by Sharad on May 18, 2009 02:52 AM

Left is a bunch of traitors to the nation. They support our enemies China, which is a repressive nation and a bully. People saw that they were opposing the US-INDIA nuclear deal, which is beneficial to India, and which China was opposing. Left opposes the ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT of this country through PRIVATISATION.

As regards Mamta's statement about building a factory on 600 acres, Businesses will do what is relevant. You can't ask them to do what DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. They will go to a different state which makes the business profitable. The benefit to the other state is people of that state get the SALES TAX, JOBS etc. Mamata was a fool to oppose the deal for the sake of playing POLITICS. Now she is singing a different tune because now CONGRESS is going to privatise the economy and she has no choice but to support it.

It is like asking MAKE A CAR ONLY WITH 3 WHEELS, BECAUSE MAKING THE FOURTH WHEEL will require more resources.

POLITICIANS SHOULD NOT DO BUSINESS. THEY WILL SCREW IT UP.

This is for the LEFT Supporters
by Partha Roy on May 18, 2009 02:33 AM  | Hide replies

I can see that some left supporters are casting doubt about Congress/Mamata/UPA.

No one says that mamata would bring changes overnight. But the point is - left made the electoral system so corrupt (through enrolling the presiding officers into party-fold) that people were losing their hope.

Two things were happening simultaneously -
(i) Making the system totally corrupt by threat, inducement, etc. (Any govt official who didn't cooperate with the party would face
harrassing hardship.); and

(ii) demoralize the opposition by buying them, threatening them, etc. so that people wouldn't have any option open. Just the chinese communist party model.

One, and only one person didn't compromise with that. That person may be 'brainless' (as the CPM calls her), but never tainted with any corruption, and didn't follow the CPM's dictation. That is Mamata. She made many blunders in the past - but we all know that is primarily due to lack of sophistication. She has a golden heart. She may or may not fulfill the aspirations of the people of Bengal, but she couldn't be bought over by CPM's money power or by muscle. That's the reason Congress broke and Trinamool came out as a nascent political party.

After Singur/Nandigram for the first time people saw someone who could match lEFT in terms of tenacity - which was missing among the opposition for a long time. And people voted for her. Had not BJP/JMM, TC could have managed another five seats - making CPM irrelevant.

Re: This is for the LEFT Supporters
by pers one on May 18, 2009 03:00 AM
Well said and acceptable. U compared CPM with the Chinese communist party model. My requets, please visit china, mix with people there (though language is a problem), look around on all that is happening and then speak. u said about one wrong side but ignored to mention the positive attitude, discipline, belongingness which is deep rooted in them. CPM made only the muscle and money power from them and nothing else. Yes, subscription to the Party in China is mandatory but everyone makes that from their heart. Land acquisition is made to construct new Malls, Roads, Buildings, etc, etc and make China Beautiful. But, the Farmers (please note most of them are RICH)are fully compensated. May be compensation is there in West Bengal as well but, unfortunately, the party takes away the money and the real beneficiary is shown to chew his thumb. Last almost 40yrs have really damaged Bengal and Bengalis all over the world. The Left have made the Bengalis a loaughing stock. unfortunately many non-Bango's make FUN of Mamta, but, today, like the days of Indira, Mamata is the only MAN in West Bengal.

Congrats WB for ousting the commies
by Calspadeaspade on May 18, 2009 02:28 AM

Communist party has no business in a democracy. having a communist party in a democracy is like an oxymoron. CPI and CPM should be banned.Having a religious party in a secular democracy is wrong. So get rid of Muslim league.

When Mamata forced Tata out of WB
by Dinesh Thakur on May 18, 2009 02:17 AM  | Hide replies

How can she tolerate progress of WB. She will continue to exploit from the situation so that she can win next time. CPI(M) is not the Government of India. Government of India has important role in development of each state and WB has been punish by selfish Government at Delhi again and again. If all the PM's from Nehru to Vajpayee kept UP poor and backward though the people there elected them again and again so how can they think of West Bengal. Bengal will suffer more than ever this time which people will realise befor next general election. Mamata is most greedy and opportunist. She was with NDA and now UPA. She works for her greed and benefits not for people of WB.

Are you from Bengal that you comment so much on WB's fate? What left has done in WB, we all know that, Mamata cannot be worst than them. Tell me some regional party names who had never swayed by the two major central parties of India at different times.
