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.
I am shocked to see the press report about the investigation of disinvestment of Metro Dairy Share. As I was the then Regional Director of Nationl Dairy Development Board, Kolkata, as a member Member of BOD of Metro Dairy, I put a note of dissent on the resolution on disinvestment proposal. Unfortunately this was willfully over rulled. The entire matter was full of suspicion. If required, I may give supportive information to facilitate investigation in this case. You may contact me at my mobile no. 9163314848
This EXPIRY CM, Mamta Benrjee is Exposed for Double Standard on this issue.
If she does it, there is No Problems but central government does it than she objects!!
Simple logic is, when she does it, she gets Cut Money in the deal.
The issue of Disinvestment and Privatisation is always opposed by Useless CPI… Group of politicians. Their ideology is no where seen AND not suitable for current scenario.
They have to come out of it. As such these are going to be a past history.
ED should also investigate the 10% stake sale by National Dairy Development Board to the same Company via another company. Amrita Patel Chairman NDDB and Deepak Tikku Managing Director NDDB responsible for 10% stake sale to the private company. The mandate of NDDB is to promote Cooperative actual role played by the board is Sale of stake to private company and corruption in such Sale. ED needs to investigate NDDB stake sale and corruption by Chairman and MD of NDDB.
