Respected Madam,
You have created history in West Bengal by ushering in a change of guard after thirty four long years. the 'Red Bastion' which hitherto looked invincible, has been humbled at the hustings.
Your resolve and determination all these years have finally paid off, and today you symbolize a new beacon of hope, not only for millions in West Bengal, but in our Country as a whole, who are desperate to see West Bengal transform itself to one of our most prosperous and dynamic states.
Certainly, while there are several challenges awaiting you as the Chief Minister, and you have an unenviable task in delivering upon the expectations of all those who have deposed their trust upon you, there is a pressing need for you to call upon your electorate in particular and the people of West Bengal in general, to come forward and begin that ‘Paribartan’ in their respective attitudes and mindsets right away.
May I suggest that you appeal to the people of West Bengal on the following lines:
Dear Fellow Citizens,
With your support we have created history in our state by ushering in a change of guard at the Writers’ Building after thirty four long years.
Today, I have inherited the governance of a state which is crying for development, where our educated and talented youth have no choice but to migrate out of West Bengal in search of appropriate job opportunities, where major portion of our tax receipts are spent on salaries, pensions, and interest payments on debt, thereby leaving very little for productive expenditure etc.
While you have voted out those who governed our state for over three decades, and reduced it to such a pitiable condition, let us not forget, that the rest of the country is watching us, if we can change our fortunes in the next five years.
While on behalf of each member of The Trinamool Congress, I give you a commitment, that we would leave no stone unturned to live upto your expectations, but at the same time I need a commitment from each one of you as well, that together we will transform our state to one of the most progressive and investor friendly states of our country, which has a highly disciplined workforce.
And to achieve this dream, there would be no more ‘bandhs’ in our state under any circumstances, and any attempt to cause any disruption will be dealt with very severely.
Each one of us who is fortunate enough to be employed anywhere in our state, in any undertaking whatsoever, be it government, private etc, will make a renewed commitment to our employers, that we would display a new sense of commitment and discipline, where our responsibilities are concerned.
If any of us have any genuine grievance, we will address them with our management in a very cordial manner, and attempt to find an amicable solution. Those of our fellow countrymen and others, who wish to invest in our state and generate jobs for us, besides contributing our overall progress and development, would be accorded a warm welcome by each one of us, and we would do everything possible to ensure that their experience of investing in our state, is very memorable indeed.
Let us not forget, that with such an attitude, we would ensure a better standard of living for our own selves, besides making West Bengal one of the most progressive and dynamic states of our country.
Let’s get down to work right away.
Jai Hind !!
