Aaheli Bagchi
Did you read that ad in The Times of India? Or is it in The Indian Express or Deccan Chronicle? They are looking for a woman chief minister in West Bengal. If you come across any aspirant, write to Buddhadeb Bhattacharya . At least, let him know.
For 33 long years, Bengal was under the spell of Marxism that drove away the brainiest and the creamiest of Bengal. Industry after industry shifted from Bengal to other parts of India. No work and more pay was the maxim of the Marxists. But even without coming to power, Mamata Banerjee was able to drive Nano out of Bengal. Ever since she took over, rail accidents have been common – you can’t do two things at the same time, organizing agitations in Bengal and running the rail ministry in Delhi. So she left it to the drivers to run the train. And we are made to believe Buddhadeb is personally responsible for the recent rail mishap – engineered by him and executed by Naxalites!
In two things, Mamata excels: in passing the buck and organizing agitations. If Marxism died with Jyoti Basu paving the way for a Mamata government, can she govern without organizing agitations and passing the buck. Interesting days ahead, say Mamata-watchers.
