Twin Sides Of The Same Coin For Naveen

First of all, thanks friends for the calls and feedback, that you gave me on my yesterday's post on KP Singhdeo. Frankly I accept one of my friend's comment that I am no more that analytic. Being away from mainstream journalism for more than two years might be the cause of this deterioration.

This post is about why/why not Naveen Pattnaik will be lucky for third time. This post enlists the same factors that can act as a Catalyst or a Boomerang.

Development Prank
Sheila Dikshit made it in Delhi. Shivraj Singh repeated his success in Madhyapradesh. Both of them won elections on their development prank. Naveen might be thinking of a samilar result in his case. Tall claims of industrialization, employment and investment are some of the so-called achievements of Naveen Pattnaik. For Non-resident Oriyas the picture created by Naveen might be rosy. But in my personal opinion,  if Naveen is solely depending on this, he is at the Fool's Paradise. Coalliation with left has seriously damaged his pro-industrialization image. Posco and Bibhu Tarai(BJD supported candidate of CPI from Jagatsinghpur) are the complete mismatches. Similarly the fate of Vedanta, steel majors and Tisco is now heading towards dark if you can analyse the profile of the candidates selected by Naveen for the proposed sites.

Election Rice(Vote chawwal)
Rice at subsidized rate has created miracles for politicians across India. I am not focussing on how much central subsidy is required to provide rice @2/kilo to the BPL families. But, how Naveen is not expecting that BJP, congress and others might follow the same steps or even for a better deal? BJP is now promising rice at 1 Rupee/per kilo and PDS of Dal and salt. Hence, in my personal analysis, Naveen is not going to have a bigger sort of special millage from his Election Rice.

Unemployment and salable dreams
Employment opportunity is the single largest salable dream in the election drama in Orissa. Naveen knows it the best and as per my estimation, he has done some commendable job in last nine years to create a hallucination regarding employment opportunities and generation. However, it has its own sets of disadvantages too. Money never grows on tree and from where Naveen will bring the magic wand to fulfill all his pre-poll populist promises?

Isms Hurting Naveen

If something is creating the worst nightmare for Naveen, it is a set of myriad isms. He left BJP(known for communalism). His New friends follow marxism. Naxalism is now at the highest altitude. Ism might become a mighty roadblock between So Called Mr. Surf-Excel and Simghasan of Orissa

KP Singhdeo- The barking dog or a roaring tiger?

Sorry friends for not writing anything for almost a year. Slow down was such a mighty demon, I really feared to think beyond the job of content coordinating for my agency.

The dance of democracy has started again. Same players, same play, only with different mask- all have pulled their shocks ready to rape our sentiment, exploit our ignorance and sell really tall but practically unachievable dreams. Let's talk about the lead players and have an idea what their action of game is going to be. In this post I will focuss only on Kamakshya Prasad Singhdeo, president and spearhead of congress in Orissa.

I first came in contact with Kamakshya Prasad Singhdeo(KP) when I was a student of IIMC. His six feet height(!) and above all, his contribution to open a branch of IIMC at Orissa were two major factors for me to have some sort of prestige for him. Stories related to Jatan Nagar, defense and telecom scam etc etc were there in mind as a journalism student but I thought Raja Saheb is slightly different from traditional congresswalas of orissa.

I, even in my wildest dream, never thought that KP will lead congress in Orissa one day as I always(still now) have the belief that Janaki ballav Pattnaik is the only one who is responsible for both win and loss of congress in Orissa. PCC without JB is more or less a joke for me. Hate him or love him, you can not simply ingore his electioneering capacity.

And when KP Singhdeo became the OPCC president with three crutches( working presidents) I thought congress is going to distance itself from JB and infuse new blood into organisation. But, no news is good news for Orissa Congress and KP from his last two month's activities, has proved that he is the worst efficient and incapable leader. Instances.....................

1-How a PCC president can make a statement that someone has forged his signature to send his resignation to AICC?

2-How the person will lead Orissa who is not sure about his own constituency and victory?

3-What was the need of ignoring the congressmen who were with the party in 1990(the worst days) and give preference to paper tigers and letter writers like Srikant(better known as CHAKRANT) Jena, Bhakta Das, etc.?

4-Why Congress was unable to trap a prized catch called Bijay Mahapatra? At least, he is the only person having the loud audacity against the million dollar Hariloot in last Nine years of Naveen Pattnaik's regime?

5-Why KP Singhdeo is not clearing his stand on issues like Possco, Kalinga nagar, Vedanta?

6- Can KP explain why party ticket was not given to Uma Ratha in Puri and how Vedanta and Jindal have influenced congress ticket allocation in Orissa?

7- While the cook of ex-cm Go-Man-Go can have a ticket, were Rohit Pujari, Tara Bahinipati so incapable?

8- Does KP have any answer for why people refused congress tickets while it is allegedly said that congress tickets were sold at 30 lakhs?

9- Why the rules like one ticket for a family, no ticket to a person who has been defeated for last two elections, 30% preference to youth were subverted?

10- Can KP tame the tiger and the most acceptable congress leader(for now) Lalatendu Bidyadhar Mohapatra?
