By Soumitra Bose/ Mukesh kumar Sinha

Amid strong all pervading murmurs (apparently, files relating to it have already been moved for the ‘Real Action’ any moment now) of Dr Amit Mitra replacing Mamata Banerjee as (West) Bengal Chief Minister any day now, all attention is on the Governor Kesri Nath Tripathi (known for his strict stickler of rules to the extreme personality with adherence to no exception of any kind, as evident in his decades old UP political package and UP Assembly Speaker tenure).

Fully seriously engrossed in his run-of-the-mill Gubernatorial work/s, he consciously ensures, he only abides by his Constitutional Duties as Governor with the constant consent of his “Boss (is always right)” President Pranab Mukherjee who’s always ‘neutral’ as expected of him. (It may be categorically mentioned here that as Union Finance Minister, he kept State Bank of India open (for the first time in the bank’s history) during Durga Puja days (closed days for SBI) enabling stuck, rigmaroled, nervous Bengal Government employees get their salary+bonus. Had they not got that they would have revolted against Mamata Banerjee and her CMship then itself and would have fired Bengal, ejected her from Writer’s Building (then her abode of Governance/Administration) ruthlessly. Mukherjee saved Banerjee kindly. Banerjee however did not even thank him for that leave alone expressing her indebtedness to him for saving her CM’s Gaddee. Mukherjee, a veteran in National and International Power Politics, overlooked it considering she was a novice, naïve in Power Politics. If he wanted otherwise, he could have easily taken revenge from her considering the way she had played the most crucial role with (then mighty powerful Congressman and ticket-giver to Mamata) Arun Nehru and effected his easing out of the Congress in 1985 and remain non-MP for many years. In Bengal, he was a strict no-no, thanks to Nehru-Mamata machinations. Nehru thought Mukherjee ejected his chance of Prime Ministership, thus he be removed, he then took help of Mamata who herself want Pranab to be miniscule in Bengal Congress. They were successful. So much so that much later, Pranab had to become MP from Gujarat. Before becoming Prez, he was MP from Bengal, thanks to his own efforts  …So humiliated was Pranab then that he was forced to leave the Congress and start his own Congress Party…All that is history now.

Today : Like Tripathi, Mukherjee is also Ice Cool. If he wishes he can easily invoke Constitution-Provisions in West Bengal on the official pretext of Complete Break Down of Law and Order Situtation, Mamata Banerjee, the CM, is accused in Saradha Scam, She is receiver of thousands of crores of Rs from Saradha, She promotes thoroughly corrupt people as her kth and kin, the latter in turn bull doze all and sundry in the state and abroad, their families go for mass scale brutal killings, vandalizing, looting, arson, kidnapping, usurption, rape etc. Under the circumstances multiplied with more such anti-Governance examples, it is clear that the state of (West) Bengal is growingly becoming befitting for the President’s Rule or a New Government with New Chief Minister till next Assembly Elections in the state in 2016. Calculations on that are rapidly going on at present. Soon enough, there will be a final decision. It is then that Tripathi, The Governor, will be requested to be ‘active’ and implement President’s Decision firmly/assuredly/convincingly/flagrantly without any ado of any kind. It is then The Real Tripathi will come out. That should be any day now.
