NDTV reports - "Breakthrough in Nandigram" - Mamta deciding to attend an all party meeting on Nandigram row ..... It all seems so hypocritical with the polical establishments in India. Calcutta (I still prefer 'Calcutta" instead of "Kolkata') has seen economic slowdown to the point of stagnancy over several decades now.
Things had suddenly started looking up. IT contributed to the face lift of a dying city. The sector grew by almost 70%, twice that of national average. Tatas decided to join the bandwagon of a success story and there came the jolt in Nandigram. If the whole scenario of all that happened in Nandigram is not politically motivated then what it is. There have been all kinds of drama enacted that has become the face of Indian politics now. Bloodshed, roadblocs, dharnas, hunger strike, hunger strike being called off, now a truce and then everything will be settled and flow the same flow that should have been months back before the row started.
Mamta Banerjee would be happy that Nandigram gave her dying political life a boost, Buddhadev Bhattacharjee would be happy that he has been able to stick his gun and carry out his agenda and Tata's will be happy to see the row being over and they get back to normalcy. What about the people for whom the whole drama was enacted..... their lives flow the same flow as well. Nothing would change with this drama than it would have been without it.
I am going to use cliched dialogue but just cant help it .... When shall we realise that we all cumulatively need to rise beyond our petty selves in politics and realise the dream that makes politics - to work for people .....
Hope doesn't bely us and I really hope for the same ....
