Shri Narendra Modi's asking who purchased one of Srimati Mamata Banerjee's painting at Rs. 1 crore 80 lakhs, when her painting usually fetched a price in lakhs alarmed her and her party coleagues to such an extent that they all lost their cool. The grapevine was agog when Shri Kunal Ghosh violated all journalistic norms and became a propagandist for Shrimati Mamata Banerjee in the Bengali newspaper Sakalbela, now defunct or dormant since Shardha Chit Fund expose, which is now drawing bad blood left, right, centre. It is Bengal's misfortune that a complacent left after Leninism is still in the throes of Stalinism. But the key player has changed from Buddhadeb Bhattacharja to Mamata Banerjee. The only difference is that BB and CPI(M) had ideological foils; Mamata and for that matter TMC is without any ideology and principles. Bengal felt so let down by communist's ideological rigour who saw a straw of an opportunity in Mamata. Net sufferers are the populace of Bengal. How long can Mamata pamper Bengali sentiment and use general middle class abhorance of the CPM because of their bandhs, strikes and trade unianist jingoism. TMC is alresdy betraying their fear of BJB in the Lok Sabha polls of this year. I have a lurking feeling that Shri Modi will become a true mesiah of poor muslims this time around and Gujarat riots will be forgotten in no time much to the dismay of seudo-secularism of Congress, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Communists and others.
