History to be repaired
- The high-powered committee comprising senior IAS and IPS officers will look into the problem of encroachment on government land in Kolkata and its adjoining areas and suggest ways to free up such plots.
- The committee consists of state Finance Secretary Manoj Pant, senior IAS officer Prabhat Mishra, ADG (Law and order) Manoj Verma and Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal.
- The malcontent Mamata Banerjee sounded a great deal offended on the land encroachment issue. She stated it is hindering Nabanna’s plan to utilize unused government plots and was concerned that such encroachment on the roadside pavements is causing inconvenience to the regulars.
- Singur and Nandigram pandemonium toppled down the 34-year governance of the Communist Party in West Bengal and It also witnessed the robust TMC Supremo taking the chair of Chief Minister and her singular agenda was Land Grab.
- West Bengal air thundered with Mamata Banerjee’s call ‘Maa, Maati, Manush’ while the longest serving government sank into oblivion.
- However, the recent Sandeshkhali debacle that includes accusations of land grab and sexual assault on women was another such incident on the land acquisition map.
Cornerstone of TMC: Singur and Nandigram
- Firebrand Mamata Banerjee fought relentlessly for the people of Singur who did not want to give up fertile lands for the TATA project and her indomitable protest finally drove the TATAs out of the state.
- Nandigram land grab row emerged at the same time. Here farmers protested land acquisition for a chemical hub. In Nandigram too Mamata Banerjee spearheaded the protests and sat on a 25-day hunger strike, emerging as the champion of the downtrodden.
Editor’s Note
The TMC Supremo can play accordion, loves to capture colors on a canvas, prepares perfect gol rotis and when she is nudged all that she has to say ‘Itna underestimate mat karo bhaiya!!!’ The mighty Mamata Banerjee, the only woman Chief Minister of country currently, has always remained empathetic towards people whose land has be snatched without their say. Warnings, protests, fasts, agitations, Didi had left no stone unturned. And this same person had asked the PM to ‘take rest’ after his mother’s demise. This legend goes to war with sword and humanity.
