Mamata Banerjee is a curse on West Bengal

The hypocrisy of Communists (CPI-M) is legendary. They have one set of policies for the ‘Central Government’, led by Prakash Karat and exactly the opposite when it comes to CPI (M) governed state of West Bengal. Mamata Banerjee has beaten the likes of Prakash Karat by a huge margin. Her self-centered ambition is like the HIV/AIDS virus. She would have the distinction of depriving millions of poor and unemployed people of West Bengal of a good and decent manufacturing Job. Her single-minded goal is to be the next Chief Minister of West Bengal. To achieve that ambition she would continue to launch one agitation after another. In the bargain if few people are killed, like in Nandigram, so be it. If Tata Motors pull out of Singur and 10,000 jobs are lost, so be it! No price is big enough for her to be the Chief Minister. The lives of poor farmers and low-wage workers are just collateral damage in her long political fight. In what respect is she different than say Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Raj Thackeray, Praveen Togadia or Prakash Karat? They are all traitors in our great Indian democracy.

Mamata Banerjee was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, on January 5, 1955. She is an LLB (graduate of Law) from Calcutta University. She joined Congress (I) in 1970s and started her political carrier. Mamata Banerjee defeated the Communist stalwart Somnath Chatterjee from Jadavpur constituency in West Bengal in 1984. She became the youngest parliamentarian in India and took over as General Secretary of All India Youth Congress. She lost her seat briefly in 1989 but was back in 1991 from Kolkata South. She has retained that seat since then. In 1991, she was inducted in the cabinet of P. V. Narasimha Rao government as a Minister of State for Human Resources Development, Youth Affairs and Sports, and Women and Child Development. She was eased out of her portfolios in 1993. Since then she has been the rabble-rousing politician from West Bengal. In April 1996, she alleged that Congress was behaving as a stooge of the CPI-M in West Bengal. Since then her theatrics are well known throughout the ‘Indian Political World’. She would stop at nothing!
