Withering away of state!

Mamata Banerjee now seems more occupied with national politics than state's.Since she severed ties with the union govt on the issues of FDI,diesel price hike and limiting subsidies to only 6 cylinders of cooking gas a year she's taken up the issue of FDI in particular for campaign against UPA-II govt in the capital as well as in other states.Taking FDI as nucleus she's trying to combine different like minded political parties to form a third front.She's pretty sure in next Loksabha poll both Congress and BJP would fair badly and her third front consisting of regional parties might have an opportunity to form a govt at the Center.If third front really clicks she might be Prime minister.It may sound too wild a guess or a wishful thinking but in politics anything can happen.It's true to become a PM she will have to compete with her most formidable contestant Mulayem Sing Jadav who has been long dreaming of occupying the highest executive post of the nation.If she fails, in that even she'd play the role of a king maker. In her state Mamata has taken for granted her charisma has remained undiminished and if Loksabha polls are held earlier she's sure to win a large number of seats.So national politics have engaged her more attention.Though it's difficult to read people's mind so far as elections are concerned but it's certain they're not happy about what is happening around us,Safety and security of people particularly of women have gone to the winds.Crimes against women have increased manifold.They don't even feel safe in broad daylight.They're not safe at home either.Thefts and robberies have increased to a large extent too. Police administration has failed miserably to tackle the menace.Some times nexus between cops and criminals has made the matter worse.It seems free-for-all for the anti socials.An eerie atmosphere prevails all over. Developmental work of the state has come to a halt.The investors fight sigh of the situation prevailing here.Most of those who've come to invest in the state have turned their face away at the end of the day Cores of rupees are spent to illuminate roads with trident lamps but little care is taken to repair pathetically impaired roads.Health services are in poor state.While Dengue is taking toll of many lives administration seems more busy in their efforts to conceal the actual figure of deaths than fight the disease on war footing.Peace does not prevail in arena of eduction either.Principals and teachers are often the target of attack.They have been roughed up by students and outsiders at many colleges.What's very worrying is in most cases police administration seems to stand as on lookers.They delay in taking action against the criminals particularly when they belong to the ruling party.Under media pressure they some times are compelled to act.But they wash their hands off by slapping miscreants with bailable charges so that they can walk out immediately after arrest. If things are allowed to drift this way and Mamata Banerjee is busy pursuing her political ambition at national level days are not far off when West Bengal as a state will wither away beyond resuscitation.
