A lot of people, including you, seem to have mostly written off Mamata Banerjee and theTMC, even before they have had a chance to govern and show how good or bad they are. Since they have swept a number of elections, it is clear that most people now are willing to give them a chance and see what they can do.Commie Scourgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495541911214457034.post-80142655365498044082010-06-05T23:45:28.261+08:002010-06-05T23:45:28.261+08:00The people of Bengal must be real fools to have le...The people of Bengal must be real fools to have let the Communists rule for so long and screw their happiness.

I hold no illusions about Mamta Bannerjee - she is NOT going to surround herself with the right set of advisors and lend them her ears consistently.<br />Think you should include Congress and "Others" in your table for the sake of completeness.<br /><br />My reply..........<br />At the time I compiled these figures, major news channels (TOI, NDTV) were primarily reporting the TMC & Left Front figs. I guess they left one to arrive at the Cong, BJP & Others figs. by subtracting the TMC & LF figures from the total. The total for Kolkata Municipal Corp. I believe is 141 and the total no. of Municipalities (excl. Kol.) in W.B. for which elections were held I believe is 80.Raja Mitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546839236793154021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495541911214457034.post-62928445456850423582010-06-05T20:01:42.392+08:002010-06-05T20:01:42.392+08:00I do agree that it is high time the CPM is pushed ...I do agree that it is high time the CPM is pushed out. However you are being rather too doubtful about what Didi may do once she is in power. People behave differently when in opposition compared to when in power. The CPM did the same. The TMC ran the Kolkata M.C. for one full term and did a much better job than the CPM had done for many years before that.R Sennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495541911214457034.post-7780910535535857552010-06-05T01:32:04.050+08:002010-06-05T01:32:04.050+08:00Well said.
