Trinamul prepares to take on Buddha
Singur and Nandigram are the twin issues that have shaken the Marxists like never before. The new strategy is to watch how whatever initiatives the state government and the CPI-M leadership take to mollify the rural population backfire.
The Trinamul’s Mr Saugata Roy said the Opposition had exposed the state government’s “Machiavellian” design at Singur and kept the police and CPI-M goons at bay in Nandigram. “We are with the rural people wherever the state government goes about implementing its anti-farmer industrial policy. The agitation that we launched can’t be organised everyday. It has gained natural momentum and we will replicate our model when necessary,” Mr Roy said.
Also Banerjee expressed her solidarity with the agitating farmers at Purushottampur in Asansol stating that the Krishijami Raksha Committee members would proceed there to take stock of the situation. She also charged the state government with closing down the tea gardens and promoting real estate business instead of trying to revive those.
IMO: HDIL is involved in new SEZ attempts in the Vasai-Virar district and say. "The company has received an in-principle approval for a multi-services SEZ in the Vasai-Virar sub -region. The State Government recommendation and other processes are on line now. We will venture into that as and when policies are cleared." Clearly there are SEZs and SEZs. I do not yet know of public opinion on this one at any length. Vasai is now much more of a dormitory town for Mumbai than it was, and the average Vasaiker seems to be more concerned with WR tardiness (supposed to improve by month end with quadrupling alleged completion then) and the horrible electricity shortage, sometimes only an hour or two a day - and I have heard of simple insults by the authorities in reply to any complaints - and the electricity situation is much worse on this side of Vasai creek. Maybe the plans for the Vasai-Nalasopara-Virar tramlink will help things transportwise, but how do we know and when.
