ARE INTELLECTUALS OF OTHER STATES LESS EFFICIENT AND LESS TALENTED?

After becoming Union Railway Minister, Mamata Banerjee has formed three new Committees to reward the Maoist intellectuals and the opportunists who had worked for her in the last Parliamentary Elections, 2009. Under her instruction, the Railway Board under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India has issued a Government Order bearing No. ERB-1/2009/23/33 on 9th October 2009 constituting the said committees with detailed facilities.

1 Heritage and Cultural Committee under the chairpersonship of Smt. Shaoli Mitra

2 Passengers’ Amenities Committee under the chairpersonship of Shri Subhaprasanna Bhattacharjee

3 Passengers’ Amenities Committee under the chairpersonship of Shri Derek-o-Brayen

All the her sycophant intellectuals including Bibhas Chakraborty, Joy Goswami, Bratya Basu, Arpita Ghosh, Pallab Kirtania, Rituparna Ghosh and Ustad Rashid Khan have been placed on these committees.

Apart from Rs. 50,000 per month as allowance, they will get other facilities.

All the three committees are created for the entire country. But the Railway Minister has chosen her sycophants from West Bengal only.

This has raised the following questions in the minds of the people.

· Are the intellectuals of other states less talented and less efficient?

· Is there no talented and efficient intellectual in other states?
