'Does the NDA government need Ms Banerjee?'
Date:
Thu, 05 Oct 2000, 14:34:42EST -0400 I am surprised that the NDA government is tolerating the behavior of Ms Banerjee who, of late, has been acting like an unruly child. One sure way to stop this is to show her the door. The other option is letting her go on her own (like a sulking child). The question is, does the NDA government need Ms Banerjee? In the short run, maybe yes, but in the long run, no, they don't need her. So why not kick her out? I am also surprised at how Mr Fernandes of all the people, runs to her every time she sulks. Samal

But because of the behaviour of politicians like Mamata Banerjee, we look like a country of idiots. We can certainly do without such politicians ruling us. Bipin Kumar Maini

So the PM conceding to Mamta's every demand doesn't arise. Secondly, is it necessary for every politician to play cheap politics of the kind that Mamta is playing? If Naveen can get his job done by consultation, why should he go in for confrontation? Rohit Kundan

The price rise in petroleum products is essential because the price of crude oil in the international market has gone up considerably. I also feel that the PM should have the guts to tell his allies that economics should not be politicised. Sudhir Kumar

Fri, 06 Oct 2000, 20:38:22EST +0530 The BJP government is only hoping that the world oil prices will come down by the end of this month so that they can reduce the prices. Santhakumar

Fri, 06 Oct 2000, 11:33:25EST -0400 I wonder when India will be enlightened with good leaders. The hike in petroleum prices has been decided after various facts and statistics are considered. Ministers like Mamata should learn of the reasons behind the increase. And she should learn how to join hands with the PM in strenghtening India's economy rather than threatening to withdraw support. I strongly believe that India can become a strong economic power if politicians like Banerjee are not voted to power. M J

Sat, 07 Oct 2000, 01:00:29EST Mamata should know that by behaving like Jayalalitha, she is the one who stands to lose. If Mamata wants to win the assembly elections in West Bengal, supporting the Vajpayee government is her best bet. Vishaal

Sun, 30 Sep 2000, 21:14:20EST +0530 The Western press had once asked Rajiv Gandhi if he would devalue the Indian rupee to save the foreign exchange shortage. Rajiv replied, "India is not a Latin American country. If we roll back our plans, we will make enough money in a few months to cover the shortage." Devaluation and oil price hike is the only weapon known to western countries to buy cheap goods from India. Jayaprasad V
