What's in a name?

15 September 2023

21 Viewed 21

My husband has died just one month ago and l had hard time battling the state of stasis that my mind had accidentally encountered. My husband had been beaten up several times by TMCP goons and though the Police tried their best these confrontations took place too suddenly.

This happened as l was hailed as the Messiah of the millenium and our right wing intellectuals at least some of them started blaming me for the deplorable state of Bengal. Why was Balak Brahmachari or Chaitanyadeb never made to feel responsible for the political condition of Bengal? If we do not have journalists who will urge people to think in a wrong way how can people be hoodwinked.

Thus l became a BJP loyalist from being an ardent admirer of Modiji. l do not even know the history of BJP the states where it enjoys majority or have a benign perception of the work BJP does in our country l just follow it on Twitter but as l became a member l was rescued by them again and again from the clutches of greedy amjanta as Congressmen rolled down with laughter.

This is so wrong actually. How can the people of Bengal vote for a propoor regional party and expect the development that BJP has delivered in Gujrat or UP. l on my own part know that Mamata Banerjee has worked a lot for the upliftment of the poor and continues to do so. But l do not know how the middle class people of West Bengal are expecting her to do similar things that BJP does in other states. Besides me who is sitting for the third straight year now not exactly jobless but pretty much not getting the job that l deserve- how come l was made responsible for the unemployment that today defines the present scenario.

I am expecting to get the job of an English Faculty in Bihar or Jharkhand very soon but would simply pray that capable and sane people are given jobs so that the next thing that Mamata Banerjee is blamed for is not the deficiency of much needed skills.
