Know Your Enemies

The current socio-political situation in West Bengal as well as the governance environment can probably be best described in a single word - “grim”. The State Government (more known as “gobment”) is deep into a state of ideologically vacuum (well – did any ideology ever existed ?) and it has become a great challenge in itself to find out few names amongst the MPs / MLAs / local leaders who does not have a criminal / Sharada Scam / Jamaet link.

However, the fact remains, these people of the ruling Trinamool Congress are the ones who decides on the fate of the millions of Indians (as well as a few crore of illegal Bangladeshis now made voters) of the State.

In our series of Know Your Enemies, we would be highlighting the true colour and  behind a few current political personalities who rules Bengal today. Mr Mukul Roy is one such personality – the master strategist (read : manipulator) of the present ruling Trinamool Congress known to be amongst the inner-most circle of the Chief Minister Ms Mamata Banerjee. He is amongst those selected few who decide on the life as well as future of the vast population of West Bengal.

Here is Mr MukulRoy :

Born in Kancharapara (suburban of Kolkata) on April 17, 1954 to Late Sri JugalNath Roy and Late SmtRekha Roy, Mukul Roy. His political prominence rose to the peak when he was sent to Rajya Sabha in April 2006. He held various ministerialberthin the UPA Government such as Ministry of Shipping (Minister of State), Minister of Railways).  He was also a Non-Executive Director (as a social worker) of United Bank of India.

He is the General Secretary, A.I.T.C. since April 2008.

Mukul Roy is known to be the most trusted lieutenant of Ms Mamata Banerjee and hence the power centre in TMC circles. He generally prefers to maintain a “low key” and is not flamboyant (and thus  expose himself) like his various co-partyment like Madan Mitra or Tapas Pal (!).

And that’s exactly where the brilliance of this man is.

Over the last few years – in fact only a few months after Trinamool Congress came to power in West Bengal, the Party as well as the Government has been battered by allegations of direct involvement in various heinous acts of crime like stonewalling Sharada Scam investigation (through State Govt instituted SIT), numerous rapes and murders, atrocities on women, atrocities by the auto-drivers, etc. Also the present State Government is accused of total failure in almost all spheres of governance – be it in revival of Industrial Sector or Health or the beleaguered Tea Industry (unique of its kind in the world).

The Burdwan Blast as well as other bomb blasts which has shaken Bengal during the last few months is alleged to have exposed the deep connection between the ruling TMC Leadership, Sharad Scam, encouragement of illegal Bangladeshis to cross-over the border (and vote for TMC). Not surprisingly, many MPs, Ministers and Leaders of Trinamool today are either behind bars in Sharada Scams or are being interviewed by CBI / ED.

But rumors aside, where is the name of Mukul Roy in all these scams ?

As a General Secretary (implying Number Two in the hierarchy of TMC after Supremo Ms mamata Banerjee), Mukul Roy is still not arrested!

It’s a different matter that every child in Bengal knows that Mukul is supposedly neck-deep into all the scams and wrong-doings of the Trinamool-led Bengal today – BUT he is still roaming free.

Well – with ALL the filth and stink of the current TMC-led government, will even a fool/idiot will ever believe that the Number One (also referred as #JihadiDidi)  in Social Media) as well as Number Two of the Party are not directly involved in the wrong doings ???

Yes – the brilliant mastermind manipulator, Sri Mukul Roy, is yet to be formally charged by CBI/ED in Sharada Scam.

It is also alleged that in his younger days, Mukul was a known as a “Master” wagon-breaker of Kancharapara. However – not a single criminal case till date could nail Mr Mukul Roy of his actions as a wagon-breaker !

Probably given this exceptional ability of getting all rotten things “done” without directly having his name into the rot has earned Mukulthe post of being the most trusted lieutenant to the Supreme Command of Trinamool Congress.
