I can not resist my excitement everytime I go to Jharkhand. I start my week long journey to Jharkhand from Tuesday.My wife belongs to erstwhile Hazarbag district,now it comes under Ramgarh district though.. Till the menace called Shibu Soren becomes big taking bribe from Finance Minister Manmohan Singh,Hazaribag was like heaven. Dense forest,waterfall,pure air mystified most creative people to buy land there.They spent thousand of holidays there and made our literature rich,delivered Kohinoor. Entire Jharkhand was like place of heaven without icefall. A natural beauty which was center of tourist attraction and place to cure depressed. Before the partition was made by bifurcating Bihar ,Jharkhand area was called South Bihar and “Lalu”s land was called North Bihar . Both part of Bihar were victim of under development, severe shortage of Electricity,which helped to create people like Sahabuddin to run their operation. There was a routine of power supply for one hour in cities like Ranchi & Patna.Other places rarely knew what electricity was meant for. For them electricity is like guest,when comes bring joy but leaves in no time.
I got a promotion in mid nineties to become a small Sales Manager in early Nineties..I felt in love in no time. I have Celebrated New year there at Hudru Falls.I have celebrated Maradona’s hand of god in Ranchi only.I remember that we instructed our hotel owner to start generator before start of final. We did not want disruption in between Maradona’s magic. I had a very tough time in convincing my best friend in Ranchi at that time Mr.Aditya Mukherjii.Aditya was the hotel-owner where I lived permanently. I threatened him that I will not live there if I miss World Cup final due to power failure. He very reluctantly did bear extra cost of oil to run generator. Sorry,Aditya,these type of tricks can only be played by salespersons. I can not afford to miss a friend like you any time.
People of Jharkhand were like fresh air like the god gifted nature.Not now.It is completely destroyed. All forest nearly destroyed, neither there is fresh air. Now smell of phosphorus,sulphur and sound of bullet is the part of life. It all started with arrival of Sibu Soren in politics. He instigated tribals that they are getting deprived. Invited Naxals in the state,given shelter in forests.To meet his own political agenda he turned Jharkhand into a disturbed state and made Jharkhand ,a homeland of Maoists. Natural resources were the prime asset ,attraction in South Bihar . Tourism was the highest revenue they enjoyed. Not a single tourist dare to visit Jharkhand nowadays.Within 15 year of bribing Shibu Soren to survive own government, Manmohan made Jharkhand an epicenter of corruption..Even Jamshedpur ,costliest city of the west & best city of Jharkhand witnessing Maoist violence & hooliganism. Shibu Soren never told anybody that Tatas provided maximum jobs to tribals, never showed any discrimination. Shibu Sorn indulged wrong politics,without principle, so neither he was able to be CM for more than six months,nor having any importance in national politics. But he ensured that no more industry comes to Jharkhand.
There I see similarity of Politics of him and politics of present Bengal CM Mamata Banerjii. Yes it is true that Mamata is not found taking bribe for survival of any Governmevt. She gives a perception to the media & people by wearing White saree and rubber sandals that she is honest. But she had received more money than Sore from somewhere else.The amount of expenditure she has made during her epic struggle to drive away Tatas from state is the proof of her dishonesty. Clearly she had taken money from somewhere.If she would have been honest she should disclose funding of Singur & arms supply in Nandigram by Adhikaris.Today security forces have killed Kishanji.But where was his voice when Maoists were killing innocent persons for last 5 years,She was continuing by saying there is no Maoist exist? Like Shibu Soren she has ensured that no industrialist comes to Bengal in next 15 years.Like Shibu Soren she has also ensured that her government does not survive for long.
Jharkhand & Bengal can only move forward if forests are freed from Moaists.To eliminate them,need of the hour is to eliminate those politicians who have created them.
Need those persons who realize,what natural resources is. Can we Get back old Jharkhand again?
