Mamtha Banerjiee and the embarrassment

Congress is really is a mess this time. While on one side their Central Government is against the Maoist, Mamtha Banerjiee an important ally is supporting the Maoist. She is crossing all borders to gear up against the Left in an election that is far away. She saying everything that she knows will oppose the Left government and will be pleasing to her ears. She is ignoring her job. She is hardly in Delhi and the railway is losing a lot of money because of her absence.

This is a major problem for the Congress led government. While it needs the support of the members of Mamta Banerjiee’s MP’s, the government cannot afford to ignore a blatantly irresponsible minister. Some action needs to be taken. Right now there are many other distracting issues such as the Common Wealth Games. The media is taken up by this is issue. However it won’t be long before it turns it’s eye to Mamtha’s blatant attitude. The Congress government must deal with this issue and take the distraction of the media as blessing and cleaning it up before the media realizes it.

But what can they do? That is the delimea? They need the support of Mamta banerjiee, but they also need to please the media and public. The Congress need to tread this situation slowly. They first step is to convince Mamta to come back to Delhi. To this the Congress needs to pledge their full gaping in the elections that are to arrive in the West Bengal.

PM Singh Caring?

The speech writer or for that matter the speaker should be fired. Prime Minister recently said that he understands the pain that the people of Kashmiri people and his heart goes out to them. Does he really understand them? Does he understand the pain when your friend, family, family member or fellow citizen is shot down by their own country? I certainly cann’t even began to imagine that pain, but here is the PM of India who has approved of these killings by simply continuing the presence of the army and his inability to handle the situation. He should take a leap of faith and release all political prisoners from arrest. The risk is that the situation may escalate to a massacre, but hey the we have got the realize the massacre already started with the killing of Kashmir’s every day.
