Thank you for putting together this Dream Team for Bengal Renaissance II. The Hardware and Software at my birthplace will have to be 'fixed' by Didi à la Jack Welch's revolution at GE to effect the proriborton in The Mamata Way. Each one of us can then say proudly "Amar Shonar Bangla!"
on Jun 3, 2011There are already 226 folks vying for ministerial posts which is capped at 44 by Supreme Court. Why even add to the competition by naming outsiders to ministerial berths?
on May 18, 2011@ Anil Thakur... There is no doubt that when it comes to our politicians we tend to be cynical... I've seen it happen in other states, where new dispensation have raised people's hopes, only to crush them. But, to be fair to Didi she has at least (in the run up to what was seen as an inevitable victory) been making the right noises...@ Indrajit Gupta... Very coincidentally, just this morning, I happened to read the chapter on Vinayak Chatterjee in the book "Stay Hungry Stay Foolish" by Rashmi Bansal... And if one were to get inspired what is written in that specific chapter, one could easily nominate Vinayak Chatterjee for the position that you have written about in your piece... And in my case, I do not have any connections, nepotistic or otherwise with Mr. Chatterjee... : )
on May 17, 2011Before we start draining our energies on making the dream teams - but cynical as we have been turned into - it will be worthwhile to see whether Didi shows any kind of vision to improve things in the first place. As a common man I can safely assume that its now upto Didi to really go into pages of history for converting Bengal into something truly marvelous state - which it is capable of and deserving too - But unfortunately the politicians have not "stooped" down to benefit from common man's intelligence.
