The sun was very hot outside but it was not bothering to the thousands of people. They were walking peacefully and happily with a lady who would be better called a magnetic lady. A lady with a heart of magnet. A lady who waited for several years to reach here.
I want to say that the 13th may have become a historic day for India, because two of the women politicians won the assembly elections. The one is Jayalalita who defeated the Chief Minister Karunanidhi and his partner in the state that is the Congress Party. Karunanidhi was ruling Tamilnadu for last many years. But in Tamilnadu it happens always that voters refuse to caste their votes for the corrupt leaders. So, this time they chose Miss Jayalalita instead of Mr. Karunanidhi because the mud-drops were seen easily on his coughs and collars. As similar last time Miss Jayalalita was dropped by the voters for the same cause.
But West Bengal is different. I must say that the political history of this state has been very different from the others. The Communist Party and its allies have been ruling here for last 34 years. And before that the Congress party (that time it was named Congress I) ruled this state. In both conditions, all the other parties were swept out in the elections. Thus, the political change in this state was not very difficult this time but almost impossible.
So, the another woman, Mamata Banarjee has established herself as an iconic lady. She defeated the Communist Party and its allies in West Bengal who were ruling the state for last 34 years. All were happy in West Bengal on that day. Even the Prisoners were shouting, laughing and celebrating at the occasion. So, the Red was melting out, whereas the Tri-colour started smiling once again.
