Mamata Bannerjee led Alliance has ended the 34 year reign of the Communists democratically, by winning 226 out of 294 seats, trouncing their opponents, the coalition of communist parties.
Mamata Bannerjee’s win is mainly due to
Her fiery and rumbustious style of Politics.
Ability to gauge the Public mood .
Persistent espousal of Public Cause,like forcible grabbing of lands from farmers in favor of Industrial houses.
Astute selection of State Politics over National Politics.
Meeting violence of Communists with Violence(though it is not good for her party or State in the long run)
and due to Communist’s
Ambivalence of Communists on Industrial Policy.
Blind adherence to out dated cliches and arm chair National Leadership.
Forcible eviction of Farmers from their lands.
Confusion over the handling of Maoists violence, whether to support it or not.
Non developmental activities.
Maintaining of private armies and encouragement of thuggery by party cadres.
Now Mamata’s skill will be tested in running the State.
It will be an onerous task,considering her record as Central Minister, dictatorial way of functioning and brinkmanship and lack of second rung leadership in the party and a dearth of talent.

KOLKATA: Everyone knew that the Titanic was sinking. The end came on Friday as a natural sequel to the rising anti-incumbency displayed in the couple of elections in Bengal since 2008 – panchayat, Lok Sabha and municipal polls. Mamata Banerjee made history on Friday with her party romping home to victory, far crossing the single majority quotient. It marked the end of the 34-year communist rule and a break from the stifling status quo resting on political patronage.




i am so long time to write anything about politics but now a day it is the question of my bengali brothers’ life , as i see news and find deathblow of TMC , Congress or CPIM party members each and everyday and one of burning reason i saw that the former ruling party not taking responsibilities to stop this deathblow. so i request to all CPIM leaders to take some step (as your former friend Mr. Somnath Chatterjee done)to avoid the situation otherwise the black day may comeback again and you all will be paid by your own coins.
भारतीय बंगालमध्ये “परीबोर्तोन” खूप गरजेचा होता !
डाव्यांनी फक्त बंगालचीच नाही तर संपूर्ण बंगाली समाजाची मन खाली केली होती!
हा निवडणूक भारतीय बंगालमध्ये अतिशय महत्वाचा होता ! डाव्या आघाडीने बंगाल मध्ये सगळीकडे कुशाषण आणि बंध (हरताल) अरी गुंडाराज कायम केला होता !
असा मी म्हणू शकतो, बंगाल मध्ये गेल्या ३४ वर्षापासून डाव्यांनी फक्त बंगालची प्रसिद्धी संपूर्ण विश्वासमोर हरवली आहे !
This “PORIBORTON” was Very necessary for Indian Bengal !
The Commumnists have not only Defaced Bengal but also the Whole Bengali Community !
Through their misrule for 34 years , the COMMUNISTS have successfully Derailed BENGAL off DEVELOPMENT track !
They had taken the Basic rights of people to vote…. for instance my uncle called up from kolkata n said “I hav Voted, My vote was not casted by my GHOSTS this time !”
Now we want a BENGAL free form BANDHS , UNIONS , STRIKES, POLITICAL GRAFFITI etc..
Joy Bangla!
জয় বাংলা !
