"Mussolini started his time in power by buying support from both the working class and the industrial bosses."
Sounds familiar? Mamata Banerjee, while she creates an illusion that she speaks for common people, her candidate list includes millionaires, film artists, people from the corporate sector and retired IAS and IPS officers.
"The spartan, moralist Mamata Banerjee's latest MP is a flamboyant businessman with a private jet. His customised $30,000 suits are made-to-order, measured by tailors flown into India by Stefano Ricci, celebrated Italian designer. Rajya Sabha member Kanwar Deep Singh happily calls himself "a spoilt brat" - India Today March 18, 2011
"In Mussolini's time, the workers were promised an eight hour day while an enquiry into the profits made by the industrialists during 1st World War was dropped."
Mamata, who cries for "Maa Maati Maanush", keeps mum when the UPA government goes ahead with the disinvestment of profitable government organisations or reduces subsidies on kerosene and cooking gas. She never speaks a word regarding the recent scams in the UPA government.
In Mussolini's time, "to get support from the Roman Catholic Church, religious education was made compulsory in all elementary schools."
Mamata promises in the manifesto to set up Universities and colleges for different religious communities, fanning religious sentiments, thus creating a rift among the communities in West Bengal and attempting to destroy the communal harmony which has prevailed in West Bengal for the last 34 years.
"In 1933 Hitler also introduced workers holidays into Germany. This was very popular. He then almost immediately banned trade unions which protected workers rights."
Mamata is trained in the same school. When has she ever spoken of workers rights? Did she speak up when the pension bill was being debated in parliament? The people who support her also condemn the way the left led state government has protected the rights of workers to form trade unions. What more can we expect from her?
Hitler said "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it"
Mamata lied to the people of West Bengal – Her biggest lie, that ruined the future of West Bengal was about the Singur agreement between West Bengal Government and her party.
"The Governor of West Bengal, Shri Gopalkrishna Gandhi and former Chief Justice Mukherjee who were present during the talks, have come out in the open to counter the rampant misinterpretation, misrepresentation, misleading going on in politics, in business blaming the West Bengal Government.
"I was present at Sunday's meeting between the chief minister and Mamata Banerjee. There it was decided that a few acres of land from within the project area would be given to the farmers who have not yet collected the cheques, but there was no talk of 300 acres," former chief justice Chittatosh Mookerjee said.
A few hours before Mookerjee's disclosure, a Raj Bhavan official said governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi was "pained" at the way the spirit of the agreement was being "misinterpreted".

Mamata also lied when she claimed that the Rs 2 per kg rice scheme for below poverty line families was the Central government's scheme. Actually, the central government gave rice to such families at Rs 5.65 per kg, and the Rs 2 figure was because of the West Bengal government's subsidy.
She had lied in Parliament about the Railways constructing 710 km of new railway lines. But Pranab Mukherjee's statement says that it is only 55 km. till September 2010.
Mamata also lied about giving 180,000 people jobs in the Railways. Not only are thousands of posts lying vacant in the railways, we've also seen how over 5,000 young men and women couldn't join in the posts even after clearing the written exams and interviews.
Hitler set fire to Reichstag and blamed the communists.
Mamata's allies, the maoists have been linked to the accident of the Gyaneshwari Express which killed 170 people. Mamata blamed the CPIM.
She also commented that the Stephen Court fire in which 43 people were killed on March 23 2010 was the handiwork of the state government agents.
"In Germany and Italy, respectively, the accession to office of Hitler and Mussolini had depended in large measure on the "street" - the mobilization and deployment of gangs of brown – or black shirted thugs to harras and intimidate political opponents ... "
In West Bengal, Mamata is applying the same tactics, directly fuelling violence through her party workers, shaking hands with the Maoists, as well as with the separatist forces like Vimal Gurung.
Propaganda had been the major weapon of Hitler and Mussolini. "Mussolini created an anti-democratic, fascist state in Italy through the use of propaganda. By using his total control of the media, he disassembled the existing democratic government system."
Nazi propaganda persuaded the German masses to believe that the Jews were to blame and that Hitler was their last hope.
Mamata is also doing the same. Investing unimaginable sums of money in advertisements, cut-outs, hoardings, taking control over huge chunks of the mainstream media, she is trying to blind the public with a flurry of propaganda.
Do you think that West Bengal will be safe in the hand of such a fascist dictator?
