Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday said those who were criticising her government have “looted everything” — from the “future of unemployed youths to the Nobel medallion of Rabindranath Tagore” during the 35-years of Left rule in the state and asked them “to keep mum”.

“From the future of the unemployed youths to land of the farmers, from public money to Rabindranath Tagore’s Nobel prize, from civilisation to government money, they have looted everything in 35-years” Mamata said, but stopped short of taking CPM’s name. She made these remarks while flagging off ten pairs of trains at Howrah Railway Station on Sunday evening.

“People will not be merciful to those who have killed hundreds in Jnaneswari Express case. They are responsible for the plight of the people here. Now they are trying to come to the fore by resorting to falsehood,” she said.

Countering the charges of non-performance traded against her government by Left leaders, Banerjee said: “They had left the government in extreme debt burden. No audit was done. There was no accounting system. They did not do in 35 years what we have done in nine months. One should know how to perform.”

She also exhorted Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi to complete the railway projects she had announced earlier, within the stipulated time frame.

A disaster

I feel sorry for West Bengal and those who voted her in with such high hopes. She is a disaster. Almost every single day she says or does something irresponsible or downright offensive, the latest being her reaction to the Park Street gang rape. She should resign for this.

Mercurial Mamata

Uneconomical populists measures unleashed by mercurial Mamata does not augur well for the future of West Bengal which has already at the bottom on development and employment fronts. If any body who ios interested in long term development and prosperity of WB, he or she will have to take harsh and tough fiscal measures to take WB out of the present mess instead of begging before the Centre. I am of the view that Mamta will not succeed in bringing back the economic prosperity and long term well being of WB if she continues to behave as shr is doing at the moment.

Give her a chance???????????
