The Trinamool Congress (TMC) or the All India Trinamool Congress (AITMC) is a political party based in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal. It was founded by Mamata Banerjee in 1998 after she split from the Indian National Congress.
The party came to power in the state with Mamata Banerjee as the CM in 2011, defeating the Left Front in the Assembly elections and marking the end of the longest democratically elected Communist government in the world.
The Trinamool Congress led by Mamata Banerjee used the 2006-07 protests against the Left Front government over Nandigram and Singur to rally supporters and popularity in Bengal. It joined hands with the Congress in the state for the 2009 Lok Sabha elections and won 19 seats, thus joining the Manmohan Singh government at the Centre. Two years later, it ended the Left’s 34-year rule in Bengal. Earlier, though, the Trinamool had also aligned with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in 1999, when Mamata Banerjee was made Railways Minister.
Besides dominating Bengal, the Trinamool Congress has also contested elections in Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Goa. The party is one of the strong opposition voices in the Union parliament.
Has every party thrown by an individual or a group Ben a success. No mention of the menu, no indication of whether this was a stag event. Why not just consider it to be a selected get together of people. The event will be forgotten even before the invitees digest the food.
The writer Rashis kidwai has। a great pain & discomfort for Pranab da wirting dr hedgewaar as great son of India. Next line gives the reason for it.. 600 years Islamic invasions as put by Pranab da is not acceptable to rasid. He wants that Pranab da must have glorified the Aurangajeb and Babar .for him Akbar is great after killing। 50000 Hindus but not the dr hedgewaar.
The Rahul-led Congress attempt to forge alliances have an uncanny similarity with the Air-India disinvestment–no bidders came when part equity was offered;now cent per cent equity transfer of the airline is being considered to attract bids.In Karnataka Congress is the junior partner.In Kerala the only Rajya Sabha seat it could bag has been gifted to a regional party.Similarly all regional satraps will demand their pound of flesh thus upturning the notion of Congress as a national party.The ill managed Iftar made Pranab Mukherjee share space with Dinesh Trivedi and Satish Mishra–both second rung leaders of their respective parties.By skipping the event the leadership of the emerging Federal Front have shown Congress its place–as the junior partner of the anti-BJP tie up.Tejaswi Yadav has put a question mark on Rahul’s Prime Miniterial ambition.He said it openly;others are keeping their ambition under wraps.
Why invite human beings belonging to peace religion who chant anti Hindu sentiments five times a day.24 × 7 with all declaration alahooakbar meaning there is no god except ala and that Hindus r kafir who must be killed just bec WE reject Islam ka ala muhammad ?
The writer is biosed and I’ll informed . His criticism of HE Pranab Mukherjee is totally out if place and misleading . He seems to have th remind set of a road side illiterate person if not A jehadi
The Cost of Modi’s travels in the Government cost could have helped to open 40% Newcompanies
Rashid kidwai is a seasoned journalist. I do not want to contradict his view ln toto. But if congress can manage bohenji and make seat sharing in Mp and Rajasthan , Akhilesh will have to concede seats to congress in UP . Otherwise his Muslim vote will be worst hit.
If visiting RSS simply blow away 50 years of persona of Mukherjee for Muslims, then Muslims has become most virulent intolerant creed . The self imposed isolation and inbreeding led to conflict with whichever community they are in contact with…
I think it’s a good article to objectively observe how the intellectual Muslims in India are able to get away by mixing their religion with politics with aspirations of some rightist Hindus in the firm belief only”they”, the Islamic standard bearers who talk of Islam and it’s purity , are secular. The writer only shares one side of the story. The effort to give space at a national level by Congress to Muslims again is being ignored by such disparaging articles.
RaGa is a sad man. His mother n minders are sadder still. There seems no one in Congress who has any political sense least of all RaGa who looks n acts just short of the loony bin n should not be in politics at all as he messes up everything he does.
Another is Pranabda who sounds as if he he just got off the boat from rural Bengal. How he managed to become president or why he is politically important is beyond me. Nor does he have a political base but all of a sudden he is important n spouts comments praising Hedgewar. Poor man must be thinking of his retirement accommodation. RaGa at least has his mansion in Naples.
The bjp is no better with it’s tired old n doddering ministers n CMs like Yogi whose fall back n favorite whipping boys are the poor mughals who have been extinct for hundreds of years. Does the man have no other today issues in his state? But in Modi n Shah the bjp has 2 rough n ready street fighters n they’re making the difference n absorbing the slack from the rest. Against them you only have a complete dimwit like RaGa so where’s the fight? The fight can only be if Modi n Shah self destruct in thier blind belief that this is a nation of fools. They have no other danger. Didi Maya n the rest are all like hyenas waiting at the fringe of the kill to see what juicy peices they can grab. In the centre of the arena fighting for the spoils are two vicious tigers and a lost lamb in lion’s clothings pushed into the arena by a mother who doesn’t realize the harm she is heaping upon her dimwitted middle aged son by pushing him into a fight he is not equipped for. So where’s me n you going.? That’s the question.
While Rahul Gandhi seldom gets anything right, and is considered a disaster himself, the writer of this article, also exposes his bias, by portraying the ex President as an untouchable, post his Nagpur event. It is laughable that a journalist cannot digest the fact that in a democratically elected country, a person is free to address any gathering provided it has legitimacy. These same journos holler about FoS for JNU hooligans conspiring to break country.
What’s wrong with The Print ,don’t you have anything more important than such trivial issues? Be sensible
It would be a disaster as Rahul is a disaster if not a mischievous if not very dishonest in EVERY UTTERANCE.
पत्रकार महोदय भारतीय हैं या खाली मुसलमान।इनका सारा लेख यही बताता है कि ये अभी तक अपनी मुस्लिम मानसिकता से बाहर नहीं निकल पा रहें हैं और अभी भी यही सोचते हैं कि कांग्रेस ही इनकी देखभाल करती है।इनको यह समझ आना चाहिए की हर राजनैतिक दल आप लौगो को इस्तेमाल और सिर्फ अपने मतलब के लिए इस्तेमाल करते हैं। क्या आप लोग इस वोट बैंक के जाल से बाहर निकल कर एक भारतीय नागरिक होने पर गर्व महसूस नहीं करना चाहते?
भारत की जमीन पर पैदा हुआ हर इंसान पहले भारतीय हैं बाद में अपने धर्म और राज्य का हिस्सा है।
ये राजनीति के इफ्तार सिर्फ चोंचले बाजी है जो सियासत और धर्म के ठेकेदारों ने अपनी दूकाने चलाने के लिए बनाई हुई है।
Kidwai seems to be an out of job journalist desperately trying for gharwapasi Wish him luck as he tries to get his achche din back via 6 DDU Marg.
1996 was a failed model, holds no promise for India. Like its earlier editions, a rump being supported from outside by the Congress, waiting impatiently to return to power, harms governance and the country’s progress. India has now had successful coalitions, led by both the BJP and the Congress. Economic data does not support the thesis that these were wasted years. 2014 was a unipolar moment. The ruling party’s frantic outreach to estranged allies suggests its next government in 2019, should it come to pass, will also be a genuine coalition. 2. For Didi & Co, it would be wise not to get distracted by a premature snatch for the top job. The results will indicate who has the best claim to it.
This sentence…. “In a nutshell, Mukherjee’s presence and prominence ran contrary to Rahul’s iftar attempt as a goodwill gesture towards Muslims.” & last 3 lines in predigesting Para …..are the biggest give away….!
Totally exposes the “neutrality” of the writer of this piece ….though, he is known to be close to & sympathetic to 10 JP & Congress .
The write-up appears to be a lament or a complain …rather than an objective observation.
The whole Iftar “drama” was simply a political move for a particular Vote-Bank and has nothing “secular” about it !!
Overall , a sad commentary on the direction which “100 year old party” (??!!) is taking the polity and the role main stream media is playing towards propagating it.
