Mamata sliding

The murder of the CPM leaders,allegedly at the hands of Trinamool workers,demonstrates once more just how deep the malaise runs. This violence entrenched itself during the long tenure of the Left Front and was adopted as the political modus operandi by both the CPM and Trinamool. However,the new government seems to have already belied the hopes it rode to power to put an end to this sordid politics among others. The CM continues to operate in an oppositional mode,quick to blame any mishap or crime on a conspiracy to malign her government. She blamed the murders on the CPMs internal squabbles,after her party leaders had pinned the same on public outrage. Somebody needs to tell Banerjee that there is a Rubicon between rabble-rousing in opposition and acting responsibly in government. All she needed to do was acknowledge that a gruesome incident had taken place and that the police would do their job.

Kolkatas crime graph is rising,government hospitals are still nightmarish,investment and industry are steering clear of the state,and the government has been near-bankrupt from Day 1. Not keen on tackling these problems head-on,the CM expends her time and energy cornering the Central government,of which her party is a constituent,on every issue from FDI in retail to the NCTC. When Banerjee does spare a thought for her state,she officiously decides to paint its capital blue. Mamata Banerjee is right in telling the Centre to back off when federalism is under threat. Running a state government to the ground doesnt federalism make.
