Mamata and her Singur false statements

Mamata Bannerjee–lies –Singur suicide –more lies

That Mamata Banerjee is the epitome of opportunism and falsehood is a bygone conclusion, but now she is the new avatar of disruption of life for all Kolkattans. She at once grabs any event that can be twisted and turned for some political mileage and she will go no ends to assert that the situation is grave. Her new mantra is – Raasta Rocko.

Just the other day a man, fed up with his situation of penury and a unstable marriage, wherein he suspected his wife to be philandering other village men broke down and took the extreme step of committing suicide. The poor man hung himself from a guava tree outside his house. A sad case indeed. Sad, as a precious human life was ebbed out. Unfortunately suicides have become a regular routine event in our country and not a single day passes with one not being recorded.

But, then comes the twist in the tale. The man who died was a resident of Singur. This information was enough cannon fodder for a Mamata. She immediately went into whirlwind action and termed the suicide as a Murder. Her justification – the tata motor car plant that was coming up at singur had resulted in that mans loosing his land and this unhappiness spurred him to take the extreme step. Sadly, her claim bust within minutes, when it became public knowledge that the man belonged to a poor family, who never owned any land and that he used to work in a steel company at Kumarkundu. Not to be outdone, Mamata claimed that before he worked in Kumarkundu, he was a sharecropper, tilling the land of other farmers, and that he lost his job as those farmers sold their land. Now, how can anyone argue with such nonsense? For one, the man was earning five times the amount he ever made working as a sharecropper. Finally, with the public smirking at Mamata and the media avoiding her, mamata called for a Raasta Rocko in Kolkatta. All Kolkattans received this news with dread, as it obstructed their life. The choked streets of Kolkatta if stopped further results in huge traffic jams disrupting the life of all commuters. The irritation was evident when one overheard people on the streets commenting that – some bugger commits suicide in some far flung place, and this stupid woman brings our life to a standstill. Sadly a loss of life was being derided owing to stunts by Mamata.

We can only advise Mamata, to pay heed to public sentiments otherwise the mantle of a politician that she is still donning will slip out very soon.

7 Reasons why Mamata Bannerjee is an Idiot

Pinaki Ghosh

1. She is a hypocrite: Mamata Bannerjee is saying she is not against industry. She wants industry and agriculture to exist side by side. Liar! She has been demanding that TATA Motors give back 400 acres of land to the unwilling farmers. TATA Motors has said several times that the factory and the ancillary units must be made together, to avoid transportation costs. If transportation costs are added, the world's cheapest car cannot be manufactures. To give back 400 acres of land means top stop the plant for the world's cheapest car.
2. She is a petty rowdy: How dare Mamata Bannerjee blocks a national highway for 8 days, holds back 20,000 trucks, 80,000 truck employees, and lets perishable goods worth Rs 200 crore rot for 4 days! She did not even allow ambulances to pass with patients and dead-bodies. She is no different from rowdies, who give pain to common people, hold them hostage, and cause waste of goods and property. Shame!
3. She is a liar: She promised a 'peaceful' siege. She lied. On the fifth day of her siege of the TATA Motors factory we saw her people stopping the engineers (including foreigners) and workers of TATA Motors from leaving the factory. They were held up for an hour for the not so peaceful supporters of Mamata, who threatened the workers not to come from the next day. We saw that the workers of TATA Motors did not turn up from the sixth day in fear of getting physically attacked and assaulted.
4. She is impractical: She says she will not stop till she gets back 400 acres of land from the TATAs. The plots of the unwilling farmers are scattered throughout the 1000 acres of land being used for the TATA Motors plant. She knows this; yet she keeps saying she wants these plots back. Which means, she wants the plant to wind up. Without winding up the plant, it is not possible to return the plots to the unwilling farmers. Yet she dares to say, "Let industry and agriculture co-exist!" Secondly, the present law does not allow the government to return any land to the previous owners. Land once acquired, can only be auctioned to the highest bidder.
5. She is selfish: She is ignoring the pleas of millions of willing people, who want progress and industrialization, just for her petty political gains. She has an eye on the vote bank of the villages of West Bengal, and that is her driving force rather than anything else. She knows very well, the land cannot be used for agriculture anymore. Thousands of people in West Bengal are scared about their future if the wheel of progress is halted by this selfish opposition leader. People in thousands have been coming to Salt Lake Sector V to give their signatures. They are unanimous that the state of West Bengal has to move on. Those who want to halt this progress are nothing but the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.
6. She is short sighted: She is short sighted to realize that the state of West Bengal at present is nowhere in the map of developed states of India, which are magnets for investors. The coming of TATA Motors was probably the silver lining and an opportunity for West Bengal and Kolkata to move ahead at par with developed places like Bangaluru, Hydrabad, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Chennai, Noida and New Delhi. If TATA Motors has to go back from Singur, that will not doubt be a very sad incident and a very dark day for West Bengal. It will be followed by a heavy exodus of intelligent people (phenomenon known as 'brain drain') out of West Bengal in the next few years.
7. She is an idiot: The land which she wants back cannot be used for agriculture for the next 15 – 20 years, according to experts, as it has been filled with cement, gravel and fly ash till 15 feet depth. Thus, if TATA Motors leaves Singur and goes to another state, the land she is demanding for the unwilling farmers will lie barren and unutilized for the next 15 – 20 years, and the greatest losers will be the farmers for whom she is fighting.
