Darker Days Ahead!

Markandey Katju,Chairman Press Council of India criticized Mamata Banerjee for her authoritarian and vindictive attitude in the strongest possible language.Perhaps he's spoken the mind of the most of the people of the state.As now an atmosphere of fear prevails in the state common people dare not express their opinion freely.So Katju would receive whole hearted support from all sections of people for his outspokenness.Earlier the Chair person of the state Human Rights Commission echoed the same sentiment with no less vehemence.The apex court of the country too has recently served notice to the state based on PIL filed by a South Indian girl to explain its position regarding the arrest of Jadavpore University Professor Amkesh Mahapatra in cartoon episode.So Mamata Banerjee is drawing flak from different corners for her activities.She aught to be under immense pressure. But what's a matter of concern is Mamata Banerjee rubbished the allegations and went to the extent of comparing the critics of her govt to barking dogs.She strongly believes a section of people and press are hatching conspiracy to belittle her govt.So she does not care to pay heed to even good advice of her well-wishers.She seems determined not to change her style of functioning and make amends for her mistakes. What's now most worrying for Mamata Banerjee is internecine squabbles have pervaded her party from the top to bottom and intraparty clashes are taking place almost regularly.Particularly, the increasing dissension in higher rank is doing immense harm to his party and the govt.With his faction ridden party she can't afford proper governance and as a result the state is suffering abjectly.What's more she fails to contain this factionalism either for apparently wrong handling of the problem.So darker days are waiting ahead for us.
