Mamata Banerjee is a bitch

October 10, 2008 · 16 Comments

Three years of turmoil and countless agitations later Tata Motors finally pulled the plug on the Nano factory at Singur. The only one to have slept well that night must have been the leader of the Trinamool Congress Mamata Banerjee. 

The issue was the 1000 acres of land that the government had acquired for the Tata’s. Apparently there were some unwilling farmers who had lost their lands to this acquisition. Mamata Banerjee’s demand was to have the government return 400 acres of land from within the project area. With the government unwilling Banerjee laid siege to the factory and allegedly had her followers beat up employees on their way to work in the factory. Of course she has never admitted to it. She has even denied that some of her cronies threatened a visiting delegation of IT workers to not get entangled in the matter. This in spite of the incident taking place in front of the press.

What the hell does she think of herself? With the Tata’s pulling out what happens to the farmers now Ms Banerjee? Where are you now? With the land virtually gone (even if returned it won’t be cultivable) what would the farmers now do? To compensate the farmers who tilled 400 acres Mamata Banerjee ruined the lives of all those who had been connected to the whole 1000 acres not to mention the numerous others who had banked on the support industry that would have grown around the factory.

Mamata Banerjee is a bitch. What else can you call her? Her contribution to West Bengal, let alone India, is zilch. So in the rest of this blog Mamata Banerjee is referred to as The Bitch.

Uneducated, uncouth, crass, crude, stupid, unappealing, worthless. These are some of the terms that can be used to describe The Bitch. Trinamool Congress as a party has done nothing for the people of West Bengal. Accepted that the CPM are no saints and some might argue that they got a taste of their own medicine this time. What is the point in such reasoning? Who are the ultimate losers? The pople of Bengal.

Recent reports mentioned the local people in Singur being extremely heart-broken and distraught. They have even burnt effigies of Mamata. Why now folks? What were you doing all this time? Well the truth of the matter is that the people who were protesting with Mamata were not locals. They were Naxalites and some other groups that had no interest in the development of Singur. Why was Amar Singh there? What is his stake in West Bengal?

The central government may have played a big role in this. Ever since the no-confidence motion over the nuclear deal, all the opposition led states have been seeing bomb blasts and other disturbances. It will not suprise anybody if it comes to light that the central government supported The Bitch in her mindless antics.

Before the Tata’s pulled out The Bitch and her cronies like Partha Chatterjee and Becharam Manna were present in Singur all the time. As of the latest reports they can no longer be seen in that area.

The Bitch has not come out with a statement after the Tata pullout. Has she lost her bark? All through the crisis, whenever questioned by the media, The Bitch and her cronies never answered the question. For instance when Sourav Ganguly stated that the Nano factory will be good for Bengal, The Bitch retorted “Does Sourav know where is Singur?”. Here’s a question for you Bitch, did you know where Singur was prior to the Tata factory? For that matter did you know that there was actually a Nandigram in West Bengal before it became the centre of a bloodbath? A negative answer to these questions will not surprise anybody. What else can we expect of The Bitch?

So what’s next for The Bitch? Looks like she is already licking her paws and getting ready to obstruct the nuclear power project that is slated to come up soon. Also on her agenda are the Areotropolis and the DLF projects. Having tasted blood, The Bitch is hungry for more.
