Mamata's fulfilling electoral promises:
Even the worst detractor of Mamata Banerjee would admit she's a woman gifted with inexhaustible treasure of energy and rare ability to work hard and fast too.She is an extraordinary personality ingrained with remarkable quality of taking drive and initiative whenever necessary.With in two months of her assuming office as Chief minister she's tried hard to fulfill many of her electoral promises.
What's interesting is she's always in a hurry and this hurriedness more often than not makes a mess of things.Immediately after taking oath as CM she attempted to make the treaty that LF govt made with Tatas on Singur Nano factory public.But due to legal hurdle she'd to back track.
To fulfill her electoral promise to return land from Singur Nano factory site to the 'unwilling' farmers she hurriedly made an ordinance.But she'd to hark back as the ordinance was later found to be unconstitutional by legal experts.So she hurriedly again passed a special legislation for return of the promised land in Singur in the assembly amid walk-out of the opposition.Later this legislation was contested in court of law by Tata Motors and is still subjudice.
Next to solve the problem of GJM who was long agitating at hills for separate Gorkhaland she made a Tripartite treaty between state govt, central govt and GJM on Gorkhaland Territorial Administration which has conferred maximum possible autonomy to GJM along with a portion of Dooars and Terai to be added to their territory.GJM is happy with this treaty particularly for inclusion of name Gorkhaland which paves the way for future movement for statehood.Not only that, the treaty itself categorically mentions GJM is not parting with their demand for separate Gorkhaland.In fact GJM leadership is making no bones about their demand for separate statehood.It simply means division of Bengal can't be altogether ruled out in days to come.What's more, resentment is running high among the tribals and other ethnic groups in Dooars and Terai against the merging of their land with Gorkhaland territory.That apart,the treaty is a shot in the arm of the sponsors of movement for Greater Coochbehar, who have started indefinite fast at Delhi and Coochbehar in support of their demand.
To bring peace in Jungalmahal she visited the place and promised to begin developmental activities there shortly.She declared all tribals of Jungalmahal were entitled to BPL cards.However,Maoists have their persistent demand for withdrawal of joint forces and release of all prisoners.CM has called upon the Maoists to open dialogue with the govt,abjure violence and return to main stream of politics.So whether peace would return to Jungalmahal depends on how Maoists react to CM's overture of peace.However, political circles are not very optimistic in this regard.
What is important is Mamata Banerjee's claim yesterday during her speech at victory celebration and observing martyr's day at Brigade Parade Ground that she solved all the above noted problems with in record time of two months has not yet proved true and we need to wait and watch for some time more for the results.

Really she has no such to waste and be bogged down for 5 years in such a small state. She has much more work to do in the wider arena. Six months enough to solve all the problems. As it appears she has solved virtually all the problems like Gorkhaland Singur ahd the Jangalmahal is a matter of few days. If she otherwise did not accomplish her assignments in this small state within six months she will have to relinquish her MPship and seek election as MLA. tHAT'S NOT AT ALL BEFITTING at all. So she will have to take over as the Union Minister assigning the CMship to one of her proxies. The proxy will face the music of the resultant reactions and natural outcome of the off shoots of the solved(!)problems. She will again reappear as the saviour of Bengal will deafening applause of the people at large. SO WE SHOULD NOT remind the adage that 'Going in haste is to follow the foot steps of the evil god Satan'.
