Since Mamata Banerjee came to power she's displayed penchant for world of glamour, particularly fiefdom.So she's often found flanked by film stars.She also adores people from world of music, sports, painting and drama as well.Never before any CM had so much rapport with these so-called non-political personalities some of whom are, however, now overtly politically toned after being chosen to fight Lok Sabha polls as TMC candidates.As she does not like people to be engaged in political debates and discussion about her way of governance, she takes initiative in sponsoring umpteen melas , social functions and festivals throughout the year to keep people in good humour steering them away from the monotony, tears and travails of work-a-day life and above all any adverse criticism of her party and govt.She has virtually reduced the biggest democratic ritual (Lok Sabha election) of the largest democracy on earth to another occasion of festivity in our state by fielding as many as ten celebrities from the world of entertainment.
To be a parliamentarian one should have political grooming as well as in depth knowledge of basic problems of the nation in general and those of the constituency he represents in particular.One should read Indian constitution thoroughly well.Otherwise,it's difficult to take part in deliberations in the house of Parliament.Apart from attending the parliament when in session, at other times they're required to attend to the problems of their constituencies and try to solve them with judicious use of money allotted to them for area development(MPLAD). In fact, it's a full time job and MPs must afford sufficient time and energy to do justice to the august assignment of nation building people have entrusted with them through electoral process. .What's more, MPs are handsomely paid from public exchequer, so they should try utmost to deliver goods to people.But the celebrities whom Mamata Banerjee has fielded as candidates in Lok Sabha polls, other things apart,we're afraid, they might not do justice to their endorsement for lack of time.Nor would they be able to render justice to their own profession as well.
Sole Proprietor of Trinamool prudently chosen right at the right place so that none can outdo her record she created in Parliament by being one of the most absentee members-also a member virtually asking no questionwhile she was just MP. Her performance as RM was extraordinary. She has the capability to siphon out surpluses let by her predecessor turning Rly into loss making entity. Her choice candidates for LS polls is unique. Bravo!
