The Nandigram camouflage for Singur and Hyde Act
by Ayan Nandy on Nov 14, 2007 10:12 PM

All the parties have got financial assurances from Kissinger and Co. for signing the Hyde Act. Now people will be busy with Nandigram issue and it will be easy to get the deal signed.

Just look at the ruckus between Priyaranjan Das Munshi and the CPI(M) about the CRPF. They are fighting like born enemies, but actually people like Priya and Ajit Panja had always been on the payroll of the Left Front with much more perks than the Leftist ministers. Ajit Panja's daughter got a medical seat in ex-CM Jyoti Bose's quota. It was Das Munshi who was against sending the CRPF. If the CRPF was sent in time, the Diwali bloodshed wouldn't happen. This delay helped the CPI(M) to gain control of Nandigram, which was necessary for them to boost their ego before the local body elections. Congress is not interested in West Bengal. Because it's leaders are fed well by CPI(M).

The Nandigram problem was created first to camouflage the Singur issue. The Tata motors project was a grand one which they couldn't allow to be disturbed. Now Singur is safe, they did this to bring status quo at Nandigram.

I wonder why neither Mamata nor Advani (who visited Nandigram) asked for the arrest of Laxman Seth, the local MP who started the chaos by sending eviction notice to the people of Nandigram. He must have had the best idea what the repurcussions would be, given he was the MP of that locality.

It was win-win for all the political parties. Only the poor people died fighting for their lands.
