One more industrial unit has been kicked out of West Bengal !! This time its IT !! A joint sector IT project with Infosys, Wipro, TCS, IBM and other leading firms has been shelved. This is a worrying and sickening outcome. Moreso for West Bengal because this is the second big project in recent times that has been thrown out !! Who will dare to go to a place where the Tatas, Wipros, TCS - the big wigs of Indian industry, have been thrown out unceremoniously and made to bite dust ?? A sincere CM trying his best to make his State an industrial unit - but is not able to!! Now, whom do we blame - Left principles ? Mamta ? Naxalites ? Local hooligans ?? We may get to hear more on that in the near future - but, whoever may be behind this tragic result, I think this is a collective loss not just to the State but to the whole nation.

Dear Gowri,
I think you have a anti-Left mask. Even when the CPI(M) is working hard to get industries, you say, Whom do we blame... the first thing that comes is Left Principles... Very unfortunate... Almost on daily basis, CPI(M) cadres are being murdered in West Bengal. But, the media projects us as villains for obvious reasons. And, you have no other choice except to go by those media reports. Hence, I am not surprised by your attitude towards the Left. But we have a reason to say that the attitude is unfortunate. This attitude does not augur well for...(You can fill up the gap). Finally, you will say for opposing pseudo-secularism, let us bring back BJP into power. And other side, you will say nobody is clean. Long live blamegame..!!!
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your comments.
Please see what I wrote - I am only wondering and questioning as to who is to be blamed for this - Left? Mamta? etc.. etc. Where is the question of blame game?? Left is the ruling party - and hence it came first in my order of questioning. Mamta is the opposition party member and known for her tactics and hence, she came second. I am not pointing fingers at anyone. I do NOT know who is behind all this - but whoever did this has NOT done good for the nation. I am only pained to see a nice developmental opportunity having been nipped at bud. Secondly, I did not differentiate or blame anyone here. My article would fit the same even if it had happened in Gujarat - instead of Left, the question would have been BJP - thats it. Now, I guess you are going off track to cover everything and anything that the Left does. You have jumped to cover Left even when I have NOT blamed them. Lets be impartial.
Dear Gowri,
Nobody is impartial. You have to take sides. There are people like me who says that openly. And on the other side, infact these are majority, will come out only when the time comes. Like, you have done it at the time of elections. We have a programme. I think CPI(M) is the only political party that has a programme and march ahead based on that. I believe in that. We have our own mechanism to sort out the shortcomings within the organisation. I try use that when it comes to difference of opinion.
You say when it comes to Gujarat, the question would have been BJP. I am yet to come across such attitude from you, Gowri. Instead, you prefer to leave the things aside. In Gujarat, fake encounter cases are hitting the headlines, in the only state that has prohibition, the value of illicit liquor is crossing 1,000 crores per year(Last month some people died after consuming this) and this list continues...
Be partial, but be partial to the better side.
//whom do we blame// - Have you seen the news, that Mamata Banerjee has expelled three leaders from her party for having indulged in malpractices in this case?
Dear Subbi Sir,
I am NOT and wont be partial and (red)colored as you are. I support whosoever, I feel as, RIGHT.
Secondly, at the time of elections, one has to take sides based on their own judgment and opinion. If you find that as 'revealing colors' - so be it!! I did NOT follow your line of thinking and hence, I am not amused that you find my judgment as a point for criticism. I understand your predicament !! Given a true 'comrade' that you are, you have to criticise who do NOT support your party for anything and everything. I understand and appreciate your form of 'democracy'!!
Thirdly, on your CPI(M)'s program, inner structure and policies - I appreciate, if what you say is true. I wish you folks all the very best.
Fourthly, not just Gujarat, be it anywhere - If things are WRONG, they are WRONG and there is no second word to describe that. Fake encounters, illicit liquor, burglary, murders, rapes, etc happen every day, in every state, in India. I have NOT written much on those topics in my blog. I dont have to toe others line and cry hoarse about everything that is happening in Gujarat. If NOT being anti-Modi and anti-America is 'revealing colors' - so be it!!
I am strongly against terrorism and if terrorists are to be killed in fake encounters, I DO support such encounters. Having said that, if innocents - irrespective of caste/creed/State/Religion/Country - are targeted, I condemn such activities in very strong words. I dont take sides on this, as you do!! If being so is 'revealing colors' - so be it!!
Lastly, Good that you have atleast accepted of being & acting "PARTIAL". But on which side of the fence that you think you are on - good or bad - depends on what your own perception is and NOT on what 'TRUTH' is!!
