A Horror Story from Garbeta

WEST BENGAL witnessed another cruel version of terror, perpetrated jointly by the Trinamul Congress and the state police. The murder of CPI(M) activist Saidul Bhuian and the aftermath resembles a horror story.
Saidul Bhuian of Tildanga Aima Damodarpur in Garbeta in West Midnapore was forced to leave his home three years back when the TMC came to power in the state. Hundreds of families in Garbeta and adjoining areas faced the same fate. His family was also forced to stay in Midnapore town in a terrible situation.

CPI(M) Submits Memo to EC

PREOCCUPATION with VIP constituencies should not be an excuse for the Election Commission to fail in its constitutional duty of ensuring a free and fair poll in the last phase of the polls in West Bengal. Addressing a press conference at the Party headquarters in New Delhi on May 11, 2014, after meeting the Chief Election Commissioner, CPI(M) Polit Bureau member, Sitaram Yechury said that the Commission is concentrating too much of its energy on one single constituency. He was alluding to Varanasi from where Narendra Modi is contesting.

THESE ‘coolie lines’ are mini-India. Not that ‘mini’ though, hundreds living in shanty rooms, busy local markets, life tuned to working hours of the jute mills, growth and decline of the jute economy.

Modi- Mamata Mock Fight

THE false encounter between Narendra Modi and Mamata Banerjee has attracted the media attention in West Bengal. Modi in his public meeting in Srirampur sharply criticised TMC supremo inviting sharper reactions from the TMC. On the face of it, this exchange was bitter; in its essence it was politically complimentary to each other. While Modi tried to channelise strong anti- TMC current in the state away from the Left parties by strong rhetoric, Mamata Banerjee found a suitable target to deflect the attention from the exposure of scams in her regime.
