Meaningless violence blotching up investment avenues, warns Mamata
KOLKATA: Meaningless violence in State is actually blotching up routes of investment and development, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee warns TMC, Left and Congress. Bengal Chief Minister was reacting to repeated violence in CMRI Hospital leading wide-spread destruction of infrastructure.
She took the opportunity warning Opposition, primarily the Left’s jingoistic prehistoric slogan: “Destroy it, and crush it to dust.’’ And she sensed it was the pre-historic political slogan which the CPI(M)-led Left made a mass prescription for responding to an unhappy outcome in all places, including hospitals.
According to observers, even TMC workers are also warned and were advised to give up an out of date political prescription by Left and now also Congress!. Send these slogans to graveyards as they are dead,’’ she also warned the unchanged Left and Congress which Banerjee felt could be “politically infectious and can damage the cause of development and investment.’’
We want development, not violence to create problem for development, investment and job generation,’’ she warned her partymen and political parties in Bengal.. Send these slogans to graveyard, they are not only outdated but dead,’’ she repeated, adding, “we want progressive politics.’’
Interestingly, while she smelt the rat a little late, it’s factually correct that these slogans and their implementations and spinoffs left Bengal industrially poorer for decades in economic roadmap of CPI(M) strategy.A party insiders said: “Despite our best efforts investment is not good enough and loss of image happens to be a major issue with would be investors.’’
While demonetization dealt a blow, but for more investments and job generations we need to be a state of peace-loving people,’’ he added.
There’s no labour trouble in the state now with Left TUs having failed to pick up points with reform- driven new trends like, downsizing, no labour rights, hire and fire even without TU interventions or Government indifference,
then why investors wouldn’t come to Bengal?’’ asked a party veteran.The reason has been Left created mindset for decades which made people intolerant and it gives you a bad name,’’ he added. “They need to change while we take up the fight with a non-cooperating BJP-led NDA at Centre.
Besides the Maoists also adds to the mess in rural Bengal, “isn’t it?’’ asked a sociologist.
