Communist's JV with Ramakrishna Mission!

One more reason why Buddhadeb Bhattacharya rocks! His Govt has roped in Ramakrishna Mission to implement the SSNP, the Social Safety Net Programme that Govts implement to rehabilitate retrenched PSU workers.

Mr.Bhattacharya is one non-conforming CM. And West Bengal needed someone like him to cleanup itz image! He had the gumption to admit past mistakes of the Communists and say tongue-in-cheek that gherao finds a place in the Oxford English dictionary due to the Communist's contribution, has no qualms in quoting from the Upanishads, accept the threat to Indian culture from wester influence and biggest of all, talk of the "demographic changes" due to influx from Bangaldesh, which is a clear outcome of communists vote bank policies. One just hopes he has the acumen not to get into the bad books of hard-core communists like Prakash Karat! Else we may just see another fight of ideologues, a la Advani-Mohan Bhagwat!

The biggest contribution Mr.Bhattacharya can however make to the state is if he is successful in destablishing the institutionalized and systemic unsurping of powers and goondaism that 28-yrs of Communist rule has wrought in the state.

PS: Read this interesting comment by a reader on rediff.

The poor, the illiterate, the ignorant, the afflicted,...let these be your God. Know that service to these alone is the highest religion.
-Swami Vivekananda
