CPM WIPED OUT FROM BENGAL

THE LOK Sabha election results in West Bengal have exposed several fresh political truths those were hidden so far. Almost wiping out of the Left in the left bastion and sudden spurt of the totally wiped out force (in 2004) Trinamool Congress, have proved that people were waiting to bring in a change, not for the sake of change only but to register a protest and hatred towards the rulers who claimed that none can remove the left for 50 years consecutively because they were the only saviour of the proletariats.The results have confirmed the all time truth that one cannot make fool of everybody for all the time.
The results have established the fact that if the electors get a chance to franchise on their own, no political party can rule a state for long 32 years. Some ploy were somewhere behind the screen, which let the Left to continue in power for so long.The results have substantiated also that it has reflected the conflicts within the party on ideological implementation, on political and economic approach, on contradictions of the rules and reality and differences in lifestyles of the party leaders who had been honoured for their sacrifices all through.
And last but not the least, the result has reposed people’s aspiration for unity of Congress and Trinamool Congress, which unfortunately did not happen earlier. The results have attested the faith and confidence of the voters on the opposition despite having hardly any organized strength in the entire state. It has reposed faith despite the opposition playing a destructive role against state’s policy for industrialisation. It has renewed the belief, discarding all the apprehensions and advocacy of the opposition that Mamata Banerjee is an unpredictable political personality and never can gift the people a stable political platform that people, specially the new generation voters were waiting for new sunrise – a sunrise for newer thoughts, newer steps and overall a new political horizon. They have thrown a challenge to the opposition – a challenge to honour their hopes and aspirations.Now the Trinamool Congress and Congress are to face the challenge – the severe one without repeating the experiences of 1972 and the following years of uncanny political situations that reigned supreme inside West Bengal.The immediate need is to control the party workers and the people as a whole, who have been so far been the victims of misrule of the left whether in urban area or in the rural society. They should be made to understand that the electoral result this time is the only fitting reply and they have to wait for the greater gift of winning the state Assembly elections due in 2011 leave aside the elections of Kolkata Municipal Corporation due in 2010 and elections for other municipal boards.
The next step will be to proceed for developing the party organisation because only political sentiment and love for a single political leader cannot quantify the people’s aspiration for a longer period.The Congress and Trinamool Congress will surely be invited to central cabinet and Mamata Banerjee is going to have one of the prime most ministry in the new central cabinet. Whoever may be the ministers, their one and only target will be to use the power for the betterment of the state and flash on the dubious functions of the state government.The most serious challenge for the Trinamool Congress however, is to shoulder the responsibility of continuing the alliance with the Congress despite facing serious consequences from the other part. The Congress also will have to shoulder the responsibility to forget its old mistakes of using the left for their individual purposes and let the left continue in power. The people really want to enjoy the sunrise – not by surprise but from the core of their hearts.
