Too fast to start with!

We’re already conversant with Didi’s style of functioning as a railway minister. She can work hard. She can work too fast and perhaps believes in the old saying ‘don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today’. She can take decision fast also. Didi has the added advantage that her party is an important ally of UPA-2 govt and it has couple of state ministers in union ministry. That apart, cabinet ministry for railways might go to TMC.At present, however, after Didi’s resignation as railway minister, Mukul Ray has become minister of state for railways. It has, in fact, helped solve the problem of Joka-BBD Bag metro railways in a very short time. Other ministers, most of whom are first-timers, would take some time to learn their jobs and then rev up their speed of work to keep pace with Didi. Though it’s believed the improvement of work culture in high places would percolate down to the lower level, it’s difficult to say how much time it would take to reach the lower rung unless some hard measures are taken. Didi’s Ma-Mati-Manus ministry must try to address problems at grass root levels (Trinomool) even before making Kolkata London to improve the plight of the people lying below poverty levels. It should be ensured they don’t remain unfed. Didi’s stance to maintain good relation with the opposition is really praise worthy and speaks volumes for her practical senses. Ruling party and Opposition might differ in many respects but they must work in tandem when the question of developmental activities of the state comes in. Our state has suffered a lot on this count and we can’t afford it any further.
