Meddling Communists Accuse the PM of Incompetence


Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee of West Bengal has a fantastic sense of humour accusing Manmohan Singh of being inefficient and incompetent. His assertion that West Bengal is suffering due to Manmohan Singh's incompetence, is also laughable. The communists might as well blame Manmohan Singh for the hooliganism displayed by CPM cadres in Nandigram. There is nothing new in the state not performing well under communist misrule. That is the story the world over, whether it was the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, Cuba or North Korea. He should know that inflation is a world wide phenomenon and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is more than adequately capable of handling the situation for India. Perhaps Buddhadeb would prefer one of his comrades to handle the crisis like Kim Jong-Il is doing in North Korea – simply print more currency.

If the communists are not satisfied with the performance of Manmohan Singh and, in their perception, the whole country is suffering due to his failure to perform his duties and responsibilities as a Prime Minister on all fronts, the communists are to blame too. Why are they supporting the Congress at all and helping to have an incompetent Prime Minister? In any case, I wonder who appointed Buddhadeb a spokesperson for the whole country! The communists did promise outside support to the Manmohan Singh government but have only extended interference from all sides. If the Chief Minister is keen to have better governance in West Bengal, he should reign in his goons who went on a murderous spree in Nandigram, restrain the other meddling comrades from interfering in functioning of the PMO and come up with more intelligent suggestions than to do away with the posts of state governors.


Buddhadeb Bhattacharya has also accused the Prime Minister of neglecting the interests of the common man. Now isnt that too much coming from murderers of Nandigram? West Bengal has been under communist misrule for over three decades. It is not too difficult to comprehend the true reason for communists blaming Manmohan Singh for being the cause of all their ills.
