West Bengal and some other states experienced a significant change since I posted my last blog and therefore, the political scenario in West Bengal as well as those states are completely changed. After thirty-four years finally leftist are left behind by Mamata Banerjee and her party. During these thirty-four years Bengal never gained anything but lost all glory that it achieved before. By the time I post this, Mamata Banerjee will be the first woman chief minister of West Bengal. In last election, she missed the bus but she cannot blame anyone except herself. During that time, her attitude was questionable but slowly she too understood her fault and toned down herself. Only being as an honest person is not sufficient, so last time she was rejected by the people. Most credit goes to Election commission, not long back when a fair poll was a distant dream and some states are repeatedly raped by the ruling parties like leftist, RJD of Lalu Prasad and some others as if they are the owner of the land.
In south J. Jayalalithaa too made a comeback but these two women are pole apart. Jayalalithaa already ruled Tamil Nadu twice but both time she have to leave the office under various allegation. She is basically from glamour world and very controversial figure. Where Mamata Banerjee is a street fighter. Hope she chooses correct people for the sensitive portfolios, specially home and finance.
Jayalalithaa Jayaram
Jayalalithaa Jayaram, is the general secretary of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) that founded by MGR. She is called Amma. She was a film actor in Tamil and Telugu cinema before entering politics.
She was born in Mysore, Karnataka and had her formal education at the Bishop Cotton Girls' High School in Bangalore. She later moved to Tamil Nadu and was then schooled at Sacred Heart Matriculation School.
Jayalalitha made her debut as a teenager in a South Indian film . She also acted in a English movie. From 1965-1972 she formed a hit on screen pair with MGR by giving back to back box office hits.
In 1981, she joined the AIADMK and was nominated to the Rajya Sabha in 1988, marking her entry into the Parliament of India. Her association with politics grew from her association with the Late M. G. Ramachandran (MGR), the movie star and Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. She became the first woman to be elected Leader of the Opposition. In 1991, following the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, just days before the elections. She was elected to the legislative assembly and became the first elected woman chief minister of Tamil Nadu. Due to an anti-incumbency wave, and several allegations of corruption and malfeasance against her and her ministers, she lost power to the D.M.K in 1996, in a landslide defeat. She returned to power with a huge majority in the 2001 elections but lost again in 2006.
Mamata Banerjee
Mamata Banerjee was born to Promileswar and Gayatri Banerjee on 5 January 1955, in Calcutta, West Bengal, India. She grew up from a lower middle-class family and then started her political career with the Congress. And, as a young woman in the 1970s, she quickly rose in the ranks to become the general secretary of the state Mahila Congress . Throughout her political life she maintained an austere lifestyle and never spent money on clothes, cosmetics and jewellery and slung a cotton bag on her shoulder. There has been questions raised on the reality of her austere life style by her colleague Subrata Mukherjee. She has remained single throughout her life.
She graduated with an honours degree in History from the Jogamaya Devi College, a women's college in southern Kolkata Later she earned a master's degree in Islamic History from the University of Calcutta.

She started her political career with Congress, and as a young woman in the 1970s, she quickly rose in the ranks of the local Congress group, and remained the General Secretary of Congress women wing, West Bengal. In the 1984 general election, she became one of India's youngest parliamentarians ever, beating veteran Communist politician Somnath Chatterjee, from the Jadavpur parliamentary Constituency in West Bengal. She also became the General-Secretary of the All India Youth Congress.
In the Rao government formed in 1991, Mamata Banerjee was made the Union Minister of State for Human Resources Development, Youth Affairs and Sports, and Women and Child Development. In April 1996. In 1997, Mamata Banerjee came out of the Congress Party in West Bengal and established the All India Trinamool Congress. It quickly became the primary opposition to the long-standing Communist government in the state.

She will assume the office of the chief minister of West Bengal. The list of looser includes the present Chief Minister Mr Buddhadev Bhattacharya. She is a poet and a painter too.
While Mamata Banerjee going to be the first chief minister of Bengal, remembering a few women with some distinguish post.
Sarojini Naidu was the first woman to become the governor of a state in India. After independence, she became the Governor of Uttar Pradesh and died in office in 1949.
Indira Gandhi was the first woman Prime minister of India, from 19 Jan 1966 to 24 Mar 1977 and from 14 Jan 1980 to 31 Oct 1984. If you look at the wider picture then it was Sirimavo Bandaranaike from Sri Lanka was the first woman prime minister.
Sucheta Kriplani (Mazumdar) was the first woman Chief Minister in India, she was chief minister of Uttar Pradesh from 2 October 1963 – 14 March 1967.
China a non democratic county that never believe in human rights but strange that the leftist always supported the communist government of China. The real intention of our neighbouring state is well known, with whom our country having many dispute as well as fought a war in 1962.
!!!Therefore, don't you thing, Left has no place in India!!!
