Bengal has seen a lot of drama last day. Polls was always a favorite occasion to debate for Indians. And finally after long thirty-four years, the lady of the moment Mamta Banerjee with the slogan of Ma Mati and Manush did what we call “a change”.
I am not a CPM or Trinamul supporter. Nor have ever taken much interest in politics. But when you see something that has not happened in your lifetime, you are bound to think about it. Before class eight, I never had imagined that some other party except Left Front ever existed in Kolkata. Some call it autocracy, some call it power, I call it a habit. We were used to the thing call CPM.
What impresses me most is the percentage of voters in this polls. Previously, we knew that the Left Front would win, and that happened. People didn’t trust any other party can do something for them. So you got a mere 50-60% votes. This time it rose to 80%. Perhaps people now understood that their previous attitude that “nothing will change” will have to be thrashed. They become more responsible and waited in the long lines to cast their vote. Its a big deal that Mamta Banerjee has brought this belief in the minds of these people, specially in the midst of an great power and conservative Bengal.
What change are we really expecting of? My life would be least effected. I would rise in the morning, take the breakfast, do some work or go to college (whatever seems feasible), surf the internet in the evening and have dinner and go to sleep. TMC hardly effects my life, so do other common people here. Perhaps roads would be better, there would be less power cuts, and least expectedly we would have to roam less in the government offices. But what we always want is peace. This means less murders, rapes, corruption and greater utilization of our taxes. I do not expect that every guy in the family would get a job, but at least as a normal citizen can expect what I said before. Less Gorkhaland issue, less Mao issue, that’s all that everyone wants.
We have great promises to be fulfilled. Kolkata would transform into London, Digha to Goa and Darjeeling to Switzerland. Wow! At least West Bengal would become a favorite honeymoon destination. What I pity the most is the state of CPM ministers here. They have seen nothing like this before. In Kerela, the government changes every five years, here it did after three decades. These people have lost the habit of opposition. All the known and powerful ministers are gone, they have a long battle in front. Only the fittest would come successful.
This is the thing I like about democracy. You always get the better. People want a change, so they elected Trinamul. Things will change, it will be slow, there is a positive feeling in everyone’s mind or at lest they are expecting something. I have never seen a majority of people so happy before after an election poll.
Our favorite didi, Mamta Banerjee has a lot of work to do now. I wish her all the best.
