going,going…Gone
OK so the TATA’s have finally made up their minds –to bid adieu to the hostile terrain of singur. I saw the first rollout of machinery on huge trucks and felt like its big wheels were crushing all my hopes, prayers and earnest wishes for them to stay on – for the hundreds who need to earn a living, for the dwindling image of West Bengal and for poor old CM Bhattacharya’s sake. For every proactive step that he takes, a defiant and over-zealous CPM politburo and a recalcitrant leader by the name of Mamata di (if only she had an ounce of ‘mamata’ (compassion) left in her) crush all his hopes and condemn his efforts; so much so, that the poor old man is left fuming helplessly and ends up saying an unpalatable ‘sorry’ for even daring to speak up. So much for living in a democracy!!

This is a shame for us-the bongs. We had been lagging behind all states for many reasons - the main being the 'closed door' policy of the erstwhile CM and the Bandh culture. Now that the current CM is trying to bring a change, we have people who are out to hinder him at any cost, no matter how high the stakes are.
Mamata is looking only at her political mileage and her demented thoughts have only one thing programmed in it..oppose the decisions of the ruling Govt. at all costs. She doesn't care if it is good for the state or not.
When o when shall we bongs stop this 'crab like' attitude amongst ourselves and start thinking jointly to make West Bengal a better place to live in ?
Today it's Tata, tomorrow someone else; the state would continue in its condition of ruin as long as these politicians think only for themselves and not for the state and the nation as a whole.
