MAMATA BANERJEE TOO WANTS INDUSTRIALISATION – BUT IN MODI-RULED GUJARAT !!! (GRAFFITI ON POSTERS SEEN AT THE YOUTH RALLY)
Thousands of young men and women congregated at the Esplanade area now called the metro channel (because of the proximity to the Kol-Metro central station) during the afternoon hours of 18 October. They had but two slogans on the raise: industrialisation for employment, and industrialisation for the unemployed youth! Hundreds of effigies of those who stood against industrialisation of Bengal and against the Singur project in particular, were put to the flame.
There was anger. There was no frustration. There was rage. There was no sadness of afterthought. There was hope. There was no melancholy in evidence. There was the vigour of youth organised under the Red banner. There was no indiscipline that was later to become the hall mark of the Trinamulis’ attempted assault on the HQ of the Kolkata Police at Lal Bazar (effectively contained by the police without there being any actual clashes or even show of arms. There was the iron logic of development and looking to the toiling masses.
Then, there was elsewhere in the city rioting of the Trinamuli goondas like the sad unpleasant incident near Charu Market in Tollygunj. Trinamuli mastans and goondas had run riot there, burning a dozen odd vehicles, attacking the police, putting to flame eight Police jeeps and vans, ransacking shops – and all in the name of didi for hers is the ‘word’ to follow on ‘return of land to farmers.’
Why choose Charu Market? The more important question is perhaps why they do not dare prefer Singur now-a-days for these so-called protestations. The answer assumes frightening dimensions for the hirelings of the Trinamulis. The entirety of Singur – irrespective which political affiliation the people indulge in – have risen up against the great betrayal of the Trinamuli chieftain and her hirelings (some indigenous, others hardly so, some native to Singur, others not quite that), and vast and angry processions are taken out every day, mornings and evenings, with the slogans: ‘revive the Singur factory, and down with the Trinamuli viswasghaat.’
Dare she now flaunt her pro-kisan image at Singur? More to the point, would she be able to go even near Singur in the near future? In the meanwhile, the youth rally is followed by rallies and marches by the toiling masses elsewhere in Bengal, and while not all the programmes are centred on Singur, industrialisation with a pro-people outlook is the theme of these people’s actions orchestrated by the Bengal CPI (M) and the Left mass organisations.
