The splendid electoral mandate that has been devoted to the Trinamool Congress party in the recent Lok Sabha elections truly inspires a leading political “Change" in West Bengal. And post assembly polls: during 2011, it will surely seal the peoples’ deal in favour of the Trinamool.
There is now not an iota of doubt that TMC is certainly going to be the most-wanted beginning for the dismissal of the CPM’s political grab in Bengal.
Ms. Mamata Banerjee, the new Indian Railways Chief, may be conveniently identified as a trailblazing commander, and she may not be, perhaps, as one of the regular women, but whatever her credentials are with respect to her (un)lady-like conduct sometimes, her often what seems to be impulsive behaviour, at least she has been brutally honest all through and sincere to her own promising self and to the people of Bengal who are so very anxious to see an encouraging change at the helm of affairs: political, economic, and social.
Indeed, the Trinamool Congress leader has always dared to take a leap forward to becoming a new champion of a leader: a leader with a clear agenda to exonerate the communist raj before actually bringing about a new decisive arrangement of which Bengal desperately is in need of. Ms. Banerjee has advanced that appeal several notches higher now after her recent triumph in the Lok Sabha elections.
Being a fire-brand solitary woman like the way she is, with no dynastic family advancement whatsoever, has given a royally tough time to the deeply-entrenched CPI(M) comrades of the state. (For that alone I am ready to forget the loss of the Tata Nano project in Bengal!)
Definitely, when TMC forms a state government in Bengal as a first-timer - which seems a given possibility - post-2011 assembly elections then the legislative challenges will be unleashed in full blast on the administrative capabilities of the party. But on the other hand - in the foreseeable future - it’d be really fruitful for Trinamool Congress to precisely identify and understand what the people want in terms of all-round mobilization of the state’s economy which is “at a near standstill”, and address all grievances pertaining to the industries, primary education in the rural areas, create first-class infrastructure and jobs in the state.
The Trinamool party should consciously avoid dipping into any kind of impracticable hard-core party ideology syndrome, which it always did though because it can be said that hard-core ideological stuff may prove to be a staccato factor – which the ruling CPM never could evade such a fixation from its own party histrionics – to draw in the virtues for just doing good work for the people, but not get unduly worried about some kind of hard-hitting ideology that may prevent a political party from carrying out its tasks evenly.
Meanwhile talking of Bengal:
A competent Bengal-centric economic manifesto that equally complements a functionally utilitarian economic agenda (over which everything is dependent really) should be able to bolster the common man’s expectations for a better life in Bengal. In the present set-up though, Ms. Banerjee shouldn’t vociferously worry about her demand for the dismissal of the Left government, because the CPM rule is now destined to end anyway.
Instead, she should direct all her fiery productive steam engines/energies to enjoy her Ministry of Railways portfolio at the Centre for further betterment of India's dismal-performing Railways.
