In a late Diwali night media release West Bengal Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi has set some political fireworks off with these remarks
In a statement to the media Governor Gandhi has said, “The manner in which the recapture of Nandigram villages is being attempted is totally unlawful and unacceptable. A large number of armed persons from outside the district have, it is undeniable, forced themselves onto villages in Nandigram Block one and two for territorial assertion. Thousands of villages have consequently been intimidated into leaving their homes. No government or society could allow a war zone to exist without immediate and effective action”, he said.
The Governor’s remarks should leave no one in doubt that the West Bengal Government did not do its duty in upholding the constitution and rule of law when it willingly connived with the CPI-M party to wage war on the very people it swore to protect.
On 7th Nov Offstumped had chronicled how this war was waged. The next day Offstumped had highlighted how Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee slept over the warning signals to allow this war to be waged. The latest events are a culmination of a 11 month saga that saw its worst withpolice shooting on innocents in March.??A week later Offstumped highlighted how the media belatedly expressed token remorse. The Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi lead UPA Government has been delinquent in holding the Prakash Karat lead CPI-M to account.
Given the manner in which the media and the conscience keepers have reacted to events in BJP ruled Gujarat in the past, it is surprising that there has not even been a semblance of critcisim let alone activism in holding the CPI-M to account.
Offstumped Bottomline: Governor Gopal Gandhi’s remarks have blown the cover off Brand Buddha. The time for holding the CPI-M to account for its sacrilege of democracy and the constitution has come. Manmohan Singh must act now to impose President’s rule in West Bengal.

The left is in no position to negotiate now, they have to accept what the congress says.
Congress has become luckier this time. It can use the situation as a trump card against the left and pass the nuclear deal without the left opposing it.
The question is will the congress do it ?
The conscience keepers Deafening silence on nandigram is evidence enough of the hollowness and hypocrisy that is inherent in them.
Frankly speaking congress will not do anything, becuse they need CPIM. All India media will not telecast real story becuase they support so-called progressive media savy CPIM unlike Mamta. As a result, people outside the bengal could not able to know the real story and congress will not face any guilty for not doing anything in all India level.
Everything is happening accordingly preplaned by CPIM. At first they brought “Keshpur line” famous police officer S S Panda, who actively helped CPIM to regain lost ground there. Then. they strategically sought CRPF to pretend the epople that we want law and order in Nandigram. After that it was delayed by creating some noise among themseleves. Parallaly they were planning to attack from three side with stronger team. Recently in Calcutta rally, famous lady, uttered that in her unconcesous mind. Now they have achieved there objective upto certain extent. You can seen immediatelyafter CPIM has captured nandigram, Government announced the compensetion for people who was killed during march. All are methodically preplanned from top level of Party to keep their image in contact at outside of bengal.
Has anyone checked the absolutely collusional, dishonest, and partisan role played by the CPI(M) mouthpiece “The Hindu”? You must read how the paper – actually rag – has spun Gopal Gandhi’s press statement today. N. Ram that Commie/Chini-chaddiwala is behaving exactly like he did during the Tian-an-Men massacre. Dishonest to the core. Other lapdogs, Sid Varadarajan, Sukumar Muralidharan, and company have behaved with even less dignity. And how about that otehr pompous liar, Prashant Bhushan or The Hindu’s whining weeno Harish Khare? Vidya Subramaniam either another Hindu hack can’t be expected to write about this. This is the same person who about 10 years back coldbloodedly rationalised the firings ordered by DIG Bua Singh in Dehra Dun during the Uttarakhand State agitation, who acted on the orders of Mayavati. Bua Singh’s men molested a few 100 women on the picket lines and killed about 200 protestors and Vidya Subramaniam very uncaringly dismissed the issue on the pages of The Hindu. I hope these liars are exposed for the fauds they are.
kaangeya,u guys are always eerily similar.
u take something far back in time and try to act smart.
dont you think that there is something wrong in your grasp and approach of issues.
you have buried your head in the sand.
samurai, u take something far back in time and try to act smart
your mangled prose is impossible to make sense of, but leave no one in doubt about your smarts. if you want to make a point first try to make sense.
if you have read Vidya S’s reports on the pre-Uttarakhand agitation and have something useful to say about it, do so.
kaangeya,has the last word been said about that episode or not?
samurai, …has the last word been said about that episode or not?
you shouldn’t compound your cluelessness.
hey kaangeya,u seem to revel in tossing things around.
the magistrate has been exonerated.
if you are an authority on the matter,u might guide me to some sources of information.
i hold the hindu in high esteem.
online jingoism of the rightist variety is misguided
and misplaced.
>>hey kaangeya,u seem to revel in tossing things around.
not at all surprising coming from a clueless coot
>>the magistrate has been exonerated.
this is about Bua Singh, not the magistrate, and about the shameless spin of Vidya S, who did not simply deny that the firing happened instead dismissed the deaths and violence as inconsequential. As The Hindu and the chinichaddiwalas are doing now regarding the ongoing thuggery at Nandigram. The CPI(M) has never been anything more than gang of white-collared crooks managing gangs of thugs. The underworld and the CPI(M) field workers in WB are one and the same
>>if you are an authority on the matter,u might guide me to some sources of information.
Sorry, samurai, do your homework. if you BS that is your problem
>>i hold the hindu in high esteem.
not surprising coming from a man of your sentiments. so do a whole lot of assorted poodles and pomeranians, apart from the 22 odd that Ram keeps in his kennel there quite a few two-legged sorts too, Sainath, SV, and whole lot of other deniers
>>online jingoism of the rightist variety is misguided
and misplaced.
since you hold “The Hindu” in “high esteem”, you wouldn’t know jingoism if it bit you in the wazooo. The Hindu’s awesome achievements include eulogies to mass murderers such as Stalin, Kim Il Sung, and Mao, and thugs/tyrants like Fidel Castro and Mugabe, anti-semites like Ahmedinedjad, and psychopaths like Che Guevara.
Hack away, and swirl in your trough. Commie poodles have never been known for their powers of discrimination
kaangeya,wow,what a tirade.what froth.
u seem to be living to the right of tonga.
what a sway of personalities.
if you could kindly give me a hint of what you found wrong with sainaths reporting,u will be helping me to evolve.
are you real?
samurai, if you could kindly give me a hint of what you found wrong with sainath’s reporting,u will be helping me to evolve.
take a long and hard look at yourself. also ask poorist porn peddler sainath why he is AWOL as food riots rage in Waste Bengal. it’s not too hard.
kaangeya,kaangeya,there u go,tossing things around.
i hope u realise that u have allowed urself to be doctrinated.
POORIST PORN PEDDLER.
god save sainath.
i hope u realise that u have allowed urself to be doctrinated. true to form for a mind brought up reading but the mouthpiece of the Chinese commie party
kaangeya,what you need is a violent shake up.
come out of your trance.
think of when and where this indoctrination got into your life.
work from that point and realise that you have been trapped in a web of deceit.
if you feel that hinduism is at peril,the common sense thing to do is to work within hinduism.
instead,you have allowed yourself to be chained by organisations that are totally out of sync with hinduism.
“kaangeya,what you need is a violent shake up.”
Chee Chee – are you advocating violence?
Comrade Samurai,
You claimed that last word has been said on the The Hindu’s defence of rape and murder by cops in UP. Can you explain how was this last word said? Did Editors’ Guild censure The Hindu for its justification of rape? Did the CPIM distance itself from The Hindu claiming in embarrassment that the paper’s love of CPIM is its own business and that it is not the party’s official mouthpiece? Was Vidya Subramanian kicked out of the paper and did The Hindu apologize to readers for letting her justification of rape of innocent women appear in print?
Can you explain how was the “last word” said, comrade?
>>if you could kindly give me a hint of what you found wrong with sainaths reporting
Comrade Samu,
I shall be glad to let you know what *I* find wrong with Sainath’s reporting. Kaangeya’s opinion may vary.
I find Sainath an ideological fanatic who looks for ‘data’ to fit his own communist prejudices. I see him as hopelessly brainwashed in the sinister Marxist ideology that killed 80 million people worldwide. Hence, he approaches issues with preconcieved notions, and manages to produce (perhaps manufacture) data that purportedly proves his pet theories, such as that globalization is at the root of all evil etc.
Name one respectable non-commie entity who independently verified and corroborated Sainath’s “findings”, reached the same conclusions as Sainath, and I’ll take back what I said about him.
there is no entity which focusses on the ground realities as much as sainath and the hindu do.
an intelligent analysis of issues can only be found in the hindu group of publications.
where have you guys had your indoctrinations.
you say that perhaps sainath manufactures data.
it is upto you to provide evidence for that.
honourable kaangeya provided the information that 200 people were killed in rampur tiraha.
the proceedings in the court are over.
the court has made relevant observations.
So Comrade Samu,
You’re admitting that you have no basis to claim that last word has been said about The Hindu’s justification of rape of Uttaranchal women.
You’re also admitting that you can’t name a single, respectable non-commie person who has independently verified Sainath’s claim and hence can vouch for them.
Suspected as much. Now feel free to play that broken record again.
the basis is that the matter has been resolved in a court of law.
u put forward the fantastic idea that sainath manufactures data.
isnt it obvious that it is for you to provide sources who sustain your flight of fancy.
it is absolutely amazing to interact with people of your persuasion.
iam sure your age is either below 20 or above 50.i hope.

I happened to chance upon this blog. I joined the Hindu in 2004. So I’m amazed that you should claim The Hindu justified rape and murder under my by-line. Please check your facts.
vidya subrahmaniam, deputy editor, The Hindu
[...] While Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee was busy attempting to shift attention away from Nandigram by taking pot shots at a beleagured Manmohan Singh, the hapeless Governor of West Bengal Gopal Krishna Gandhi found himself in something more than the self-imposed blanket of darkness – deep denial on how impotent the office he holds is. This is the same Governor who issued public threats but never could muster the courage to recommend President’s rule. [...]
