through “The Seven Obsessions of Italian Design” an exhibition at the Triennale Design Museum Milan From the sacred luxury of the Byzantines to Pompeii and objects of contemporary theatre democratic design to futuristic instability these explorations were the start to many more editions at the Museum Giorgio Galleani Head Italian Design Collections and Archives at the museum was in Delhi as part of a country tour The 48-year-old spoke about design museums India’s relevance on the global scene and the shift away from patronage Excerpts from an interview: What is your role at the Triennale Design Museum seen both as a scientific and emotional space I am the conservator of the collections at the museum and I help external curators create exhibitons I try and create a bridge between the past and the present Our exhibitions are based around themes The most recent one is “WWomen in Italian Design” The story is told through the metaphor of a river that runs through the whole of the 20th century How does a product become part of the collection And why are design museums important It’s usually about memory and what it means to people For instance when people see the Graziella bicycle it’s an instant recall it takes you back to your childhood Everybody in Italy has some association with it Of course we also have products in our collection that is based on science and shows how industries have developed Museums tell your story they also present a point of view about your culture In the nine years of its existence tell us about an exhibition that you found interesting There have been several but for a travelling exhibition on New Italian Design we presented products on a conveyor belt like at a sushi bar There were these tiny objects that were placed on plates Federico Fellini’s movie clips playing on a loop and circus music in the background We collected these products with the help of experts from the fields of fashion industrial design and product design One such object was this bird feeder which comes with an integrated wooden pusher Once you’ve eaten your bread you can brush the crumbs right off the table into the box and place it by the window to serve it up for the birds Do you advocate patronage to promote design these days We don’t believe in patrons Today those who have the money won’t give you something without telling you how to do it At the Triennale Design Museum we often have manufacturers who want their products to be displayed because then they use it as an advertisement We don’t put any such products on display Do you think India’s time for a design museum has come Of course In India when you have a problem and need a solution everyone has a different answer The idea of the design museum must start from here Look at all the solutions that people have given in the last 50 years to a problem and how they have solved it After this you can start to create your style and identity The ability to do this is your biggest

people illegally to southern Europe This has left matters in the hands of individual states such as Italy and Greece which are usually the first destinations for asylum-seekers given traffickers’ preference for the central and eastern Mediterranean routes Italy’s Mare Nostrum search-and-rescue programme saved almost 160000 lives in a year before it was discontinued last November due to budgetary cuts and complaints from other EU states that it was encouraging migrants to make the perilous journey It was replaced by Triton launched by the EU’s border control agency Frontex but on a third of the budget without its own vessels and surveillance To the EU’s credit it recognises the need to punish the traffickers and not their victims However it’s doubtful whether the EU has the capacity or inclination to undertake a naval blockade of the north African coast to stop these “death boats” before they set sail Of late the largest number of refugees have been fleeing conflict in

pm Toyota Motor Corp which has made a big bet on hydrogen-powered cars is looking more isolated as industry rivals double down on plug-in electric vehicles as the dominant technology (Image Source: Bloomberg) Related News Toyota Motor Corp which has made a big bet on hydrogen-powered cars is looking more isolated as industry rivals double down on plug-in electric vehicles as the dominant technology in the emerging post-fossil fuel era Three years ago Toyota President Akio Toyoda grandson of company founder Kiichiro Toyoda unveiled the Mirai a four-door family sedan powered by hydrogen tanks and fuel-cell technology that emits nothing but heat and water – and none of the gases that contribute to global warming However sales of the $57500 sedan – available in Japan California and parts of Europe – have yet to break the 5000 mark compared to some 300000 of Nissan Motor Co’s battery-electric Leaf Toyota isn’t the only player in fuel-cell vehicle development However even hydrogen-car backers such as Honda Motor Co Hyundai Motor Co and Volkswagen AG’s Audi have refocused their zero-emissions car strategies on EVs Investment in hydrogen power stations has been glacial and technology advances have lowered the cost of batteries and extended driving ranges China the world’s biggest car market nearly doubled the number of charging points last year to 215000 while the number of hydrogen stations was all of five It plans to introduce a cap-and-trade emissions policy from 2019 and has joined a growing list of countries seeking deadlines to phase out fossil fuel-powered vehicles Tesla Inc this month unveiled a new Roadster with a 620-mile (998-kilometer) driving range twice that of Toyota’s Mirai The electric carmaker’s CEO Elon Musk has long disparaged fuel cells because of the cost and difficulty of creating storing and transporting hydrogen By contrast the relative simplicity of EV powertrains has helped open the door to a host of new entrants including vacuum-cleaner billionaire James Dyson Bloomberg New Energy Finance sees electric cars reaching price parity with their gasoline-burning cousins as early as 2025 following a 73 percent plunge in lithium-ion battery prices between 2010 and 2016 “It’s easier for companies to make a profit with EV and it’s easier for governments to prepare the infrastructure” said Richard Kaye a portfolio manager at Nippon Comgest Inc “For the past few years it’s been EV that’s been gaining traction Because of that it’s EV that’s much closer to becoming reality” As such fuel-cell technology is increasingly being put on the back burner Honda CEO Takahiro Hachigo said last month he thinks EVs will proliferate faster in the near term and Hyundai Executive Vice President Lee Kwang-guk said in August that EVs will now be the “mainstay” of the Korean automaker’s eco-car lineup Fuel cells were barely a footnote when VW CEO Matthias Mueller announced the group’s aggressive electrification strategy in September By contrast Toyota says its fervor for the technology it began developing in the early 1990s remains undiminished Fuel-cell and battery-electric vehicles must be developed ‘at the same speed’ because different parts of the world will favor different energy sources based on their specific needs Executive Vice President Didier Leroy said in an interview at last month’s Tokyo Motor Show where Toyota was the only Japanese automaker to display hydrogen-powered vehicles “We know for example that the fuel cells in the Japanese society will be much more than just cars” Leroy said “In many other places in the world it will be the same” Shares of Toyota rose 03 percent to 7046 yen as of 1:53 pm in Tokyo Tuesday They have advanced 24 percent this year compared with a 17 percent gain in the Topix index California is currently the main market for fuel-cell vehicles outside Japan but has just 30 hydrogen stations Efforts by Toyota and its partners to set up infrastructure on America’s East Coast have been plagued by delays By contrast BNEF counted more than 44000 charging points nationwide in 2016 Japan has 91 hydrogen stations and is aiming for 160 by 2020 and 320 by 2025 But that’s against more than 28000 charging points at the end of last year according to BNEF whose analysts forecast the high costs and strict regulations governing hydrogen stations will mean the government can only meet 75 percent of its 2020 goal and an even smaller proportion of its 2025 target “Unlike lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles there is no existing parallel industry for fuel cells that accelerates the speed of cost reduction” said BNEF analyst Ali Izadi-Najafabadi “Fuel-cell vehicles will not achieve the same level of market penetration” The gap is widening even as Toyota forges partnerships aimed at promoting fuel cells One such global entity established at the start of this year the Hydrogen Council said this month that the lightest element could supply a fifth of worldwide energy needs by 2025 Fuel-cell proponents face a chicken-and-egg dilemma: increased infrastructure requires additional vehicles to support it and vice versa Toyota which leads FCV sales globally with the Mirai has only shipped about 4300 since its launch in late 2014 By contrast Nissan has sold about 300000 of the Leaf since 2010 and Tesla has delivered more than 250000 electric vehicles since the first Roadster rolled out in 2008 The figures at other FCV makers are even starker: Honda has shipped fewer than 700 of the Clarity Fuel Cell since its debut last year while Hyundai has moved about 900 of its Tucson Fuel Cell since 2013 Japan has 91 hydrogen stations and is aiming for 160 by 2020 and 320 by 2025 (Image Source: Bloomberg) Toyota has set a lofty goal of selling 30000 FCVs annually by around 2020 Achieving that will need not just more infrastructure but improvements to the Mirai itself according to chief engineer Yoshikazu Tanaka The list he gave echoed what Musk has done with his second-generation Roadster which on top of a 620-mile range can go 0-60 miles per hour in 19 seconds First the Mirai’s range of about 312 miles under US standards is ‘not nearly enough’ Tanaka said on the sidelines of a conference in Tokyo last month The other is more abstract “We don’t want people to buy the car just for its environmental credentials ” he said “We have to make it cool” Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada told Der Spiegel in an interview this month that Tesla is not the Japanese company’s “role model” and that battery-electric vehicles with long ranges are both heavy and too expensive to be mass produced The new Roadster will be available from 2020 with a base price of $200000 “Such cars do not fit in our program” Uchiyamada said In a management reshuffle involving some three dozen people announced Tuesday Kiyotaka Ise who heads advanced R&D including FCV and EV development will become chief executive of group company Aisin Seiki Co which makes parts including transmissions and suspensions His current role will be taken by Shigeki Terashi an executive vice president and chairman of Toyota’s in-house powertrain company The changes are aimed at strengthening cooperation among group companies and boosting innovation according to a statement Toyota’s immediate priority is to step up development of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles which the company sees as encouraging new filling stations to service them because their largely predetermined routes guarantee revenue Toyota sold a pair of fuel-cell buses to the Tokyo government at the start of this year and plans to have about 100 on the road by 2020 It’s also developing a delivery truck for trials with convenience store 7-Eleven Japan from 2019 In California it’s testing a semi-trailer truck “In order to promote our fuel-cell vehicles we need to promote hydrogen infrastructure” Toyota Senior Managing Officer Shigeki Tomoyama told reporters at an event to launch a hydrogen project near Tokyo Bay in July “Commercial vehicles are extremely effective in doing that so that’s what we want to make” For all the latest Technology News

are cheaper but cover few medical benefits Those plans are currently limited to three months Joseph Antos a healthcare expert at the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank said he did not believe the order would have much of an impact because employers from regions with lower healthcare costs like Iowa would not want to join up with those from regions with higher costs Experts also questioned whether Trump has the legal authority to expand association health plans Democratic state attorneys general have said they will sue if Trump tries to destroy Obamacare California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said Trump’s executive order is just another step toward imploding the Affordable Care Act “It should come as no surprise that California is prepared to fight in court to protect affordable healthcare for its people” Becerra said The association health plans could attract young healthy people and leave a sicker more expensive patient pool in the individual insurance

widespread state-sponsored doping over a wide array of sports Representational image AP Russian track and field athletes were barred from the Rio Olympics last year and from the athletics World Championships in London last month But the IOC declined to issue a blanket ban of Russia from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics Officials at this week’s meeting including representatives of anti-doping organizations from the United States France Germany and Britian insisted an IOC lack of action on Russia "imperils clean athletes and the future of the Olympic movement" "A country’s sport leaders and organizations should not be given credentials to the Olympics when they intentionally violate the rules and rob clean athletes This is especially unfair when athletes are punished when they violate the rules" the statement said It added that they remained committed to providing criteria for individual Russian athletes to compete as neutrals if they have been subject to "robust anti-doping protocols" "The failure to expeditiously investigate individual Russian athlete doping poses a clear and present danger for clean athletes worldwide and at the 2018 Winter Games" the group said "We have serious doubts that the 2018 Games will be clean due to the incomplete investigation of massive evidence of individual doping by Russians athletes at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games and given the inadequate testing evidence of Russian athletes over the past four years" The group voiced support for the World Anti-Doping Agency requirement that Russia take public responsibility for the doping charges outlined in the McLaren Report or provide "credible proof to refute it" With five months remaining before the Pyeongchang Games begin on 9 February there is no time for delay the group said

well as militarily" said James Char a military analyst at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University During China’s so-called Century of Humiliation starting around the mid-19th century the country lost almost every war it fought and was often forced to give major concessions in subsequent treaties "That’s why China more than any other country dreams of a strong army Not to bully other countries but to defend ourselves" said Ni Lexiong from Shanghai University of Political Science and Law Worried neighbours But Xi’s call to build a military that can "fight and win" has alarmed China’s neighbours several of whom are embroiled in tense border disputes with the superpower Xi Jinping at the 19th National Congress of the CPC Reuters This summer India and China engaged in a bitter weeks-long military confrontation over a disputed area in the Himalayas Japan regularly faces off with Chinese maritime patrols close to the Senkaku islands which are called the Diaoyu in Mandarin and claimed by Beijing And Beijing asserts sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea despite rival claims from countries including Vietnam the Philippines and Malaysia Beijing has reclaimed islands it controls in the sea in order to cement its claims and installed military aircraft and missile systems on them causing tensions to spiral in recent years "Chinese activities are a security concern for the region encompassing Japan and for the international community" said a recent Japanese defence report "It is incontestable that the country’s rise as a military power is setting off an arms race in Asia" said Juliette Genevaz China researcher at the France-based Military School Strategic Research Institute "This arms race in Asia has several causes" she said noting North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme as one of the contributors But "China’s military build-up and reclaiming activities in the South China Sea is a major factor" China’s military expenditure in 2016 was an estimated $215 billion according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute putting it in first place in Asia well ahead of India ($56 billion) Japan ($46 billion) and South Korea ($37 billion) The country has not participated in any conflict since a month-long border war against Vietnam in 1979 that killed tens of thousands of people and a 1988 skirmish also with Hanoi over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea that left 64 dead But it has been busy boosting its military activities abroad In 2017 Beijing opened its first foreign military base in Djibouti Since 2008 its navy has participated in anti-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia and in the Gulf of Aden The country is the largest contributor to United Nations peacekeeping operations among the permanent members of the security council with some 2500 soldiers and military experts deployed The moves are all part of a larger decades-long effort to modernise the country’s military which had become riddled with corruption incompetence and waste ‘Absolute control’ But while Xi flexed his muscles at the head of China’s central military commission during his first term he is likely to observe more caution in future having consolidated his power base by bringing down two of the country’s highest-ranking army officers for corruption said James Char He also reaffirmed the party’s "absolute control" over the army during the recently concluded congress "Now that it’s done he does not need to risk an external crisis any more Therefore we can reasonably expect Beijing will conduct less coercive diplomacy in the near- to medium-term" Char said "The Chinese military will continue to operate further and further away from China’s shores and probably also establish more overseas bases" he added But while it will continue to aggressively defend its own territorial claims "it will likely act cautiously abroad and will not engage in overseas constabulary missions such as those carried out by the US military in Iraq or Afghanistan for example" By: PTI | Chennai | Published: January 29 2017 8:04 pm Dinesh Karthik struck four boundaries and a six before being run out (Source: Express

Which begs the question: why didn’t the party make use of his “advice and experience” in these four years During the same period it’s no secret that people in Karnataka were treated to frequent outbursts from S M Krishna on the “decline of Congress” and how he had been calculatedly sidelined And so it was only a question of when and not if S M Krishna would abandon the Congress Krishna’s exit yet again points the needle of accountability towards the decayed Congress High Command aka dynasty His indirect swipe at Rahul Gandhi’s style of politics a “hit-and-run job…a part-time job” reflects the truth of the adage that Rahul Gandhi’s age is lesser than S M Krishna’s political experience Indeed Krishna’s exit is symptomatic of many Congress leaders of his vintage and stature The Gandhi glue that kept them within the party has come unstuck under the singular leadership of Rahul Gandhi At one time leaders like him enjoyed the confidence of the so-called High Command and he had the relative freedom as chief minister to manage a large and prosperous state as well as contain internal dissensions But now with a largely moribund High Command and a CM who continues to run amok there’s really no reason for Krishna to stay back Indeed another measure of the High Command’s frailty is its repeated failure to rein in the unpopular Siddaramaiah because ever since that fatal summer of 2014 the dynasty no longer commands the same political or moral authority and instead depends on state leaders like him for survival and finances In this light Rajeev Gowda’s remark only unsubtly betrays his fear about his party’s prospects in the near future caused by Krishna’s exit The Vokkaliga belt in the hugely influential Old Mysore region has always been the BJP’s weak wicket So while Krishna’s defection might not swing a majority of these votes towards the BJP it certainly has the potential to damage the Congress Equally the other strong competitor for Vokkaliga votes the Janata Dal (Secular) will also hurt the Congress badly But at the moment Krishna’s exit has created a mass revolt-like situation within the Congress as this report shows Equally as this Firstpost piece observes The names of a dozen other Congress leaders who already have one tentative foot in the BJP are doing the rounds in Bengaluru By all indications this is just the beginning of what may turn into an exodus in the coming weeks and months But what really offers a telling portent for the future is the fact that the High Command has continued to remain inert at these worrying developments As a sort of mirror to how it snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Goa the Congress has simply lost the will to fight back if only for its very survival Meanwhile some of the key state Congress functionaries that this writer met after Krishna’s exit say that about 30 MLAs are ready to jump ship depending on how the Nanjanagud and Gundlupet byelections turn out And if those MLAs do indeed defect it’ll reduce the Congress to a minority government paving way for elections And the manner in which developments are unfolding in the state at the moment seems to indicate that this mass defection might likely occur much before 2018 On the BJP’s side a premature fall of the Siddaramaiah government also makes sense given the fact that the emphatic Congress victory in Punjab recently breathed some oxygen into the ailing party A premature exit in Karnataka would further demoralise the Grand Old Party Whether 9April 2017 will turn out to be the Ides of March for the

Maharashtra’s Former finance minister Jayant Patil is of the opinion that no chief minister or finance minister will ever give consent to a crop loan waiver when the government’s coffers are running empty Patil who is currently the leader of the NCP in the Legislative Assembly had held the state’s finance portfolio for three consecutive terms in the Congress-NCP coalition government since 1999 Watch What Else Is Making News Discussing the politics economics and arithmetic of crop loan waiver both at the Centre and in Maharashtra while speaking to The Indian Express Patil put across the challenges for any government having to deal with financial constraints “The conservative estimate of crop loan waiver would work out to Rs 25000 cr to Rs 30000 cr approximately Now no wise chief minister or finance minister will give permission for the crop loan waiver The task has become more challenging for the present government that has miserably failed in fiscal prudence thus reflecting poor financial management” said Patil He added: “The overall budget spending shows 47 per cent which means there is an undeclared cut in force The series of mega-projects being pursued by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in multiple sectors like infrastructure also makes us wonder how they would mobilise the funds” Speaking about the socio-politics behind the Opposition’s demand for a crop loan waiver during the ongoing budget session Patil justified it He said: “Our decision is not politically driven It is our concern to bring immediate relief to the farmers across rural Maharashtra In the last three to four successive years farmers suffered due to drought Last year we had a good monsoon There was good crop production However farmers’ earnings were badly affected because of the demonetisation policy imposed from November 8 2016” Patil added: “Farmers were forced to sell their vegetables fruits and crops at much lower prices Except for cash crops like sugarcane all other crops fetched lower prices causing revenue loss to farmers” Taking a strong objection to the government’s argument that the loan waiver had helped district cooperative banks and not farmers in the past he said: “I am not asking money for banks The government can always directly transfer the cash into farmers’ accounts” The NCP leader said: “If Prime Minister Narendra Modi can promise loan waiver to farmers in Uttar Pradesh what stops the government from taking the decision in Maharashtra This is our basic question at a time they boast of a robust economy which is not the case Therefore as I said in the beginning unless any state has surplus money it would be a difficult task to waive the crop loans completely” Reminding of former Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar’s 2008 decision after discussion with then prime minister Manmohan Singh on a crop loan waiver of Rs 71000 crore for the entire country Patil said “There were no immediate elections But the UPA government still went ahead with the decision to bring relief to farmers” He added: “Today the state government says it is not against loan waiver but will take a decision (on that) at an appropriate time What does it mean” Commenting on the Shiv Sena trying to take credit for the demand for crop loan waiver Patil said: “They are a confused party On one hand they are enjoying power in the government and on the other they are trying to show that they are an Opposition party” Taking a dig at the Sena he said: “Now all Opposition parties had taken a decision to protest at the footsteps of Vidhan Bhawan on the crop loan waiver issue But just to show that they are different the Shiv Sena sat a few feet away at the footsteps of Chhatrapati Shivaji’s statue A section was protesting against the government

Saturday has put him under even more pressure as Manchester United manager An unfortunate 82nd-minute own goal by David de Gea condemned United to a loss that prevented them from closing the six-point gap that separates them from the Champions League places Van Gaal’s position has been the subject of speculation for weeks and reports emerged last week that United have approached former Chelsea

In describing West Bengal todaythere is no quote more aptespecially sentences beyond best-of-timesworst-of-times There is a cuspreminiscent of 1977 With antipathy and popular backlash against the Congress in 1977the Left Front came to power and West Bengals politics was never the same again In 2006out of 294 seatsthe Left Front won 233Trinamool and its allies 30 and Congress and its allies 24 Despite pressuresit is unlikely the next round of elections will be in 2010 And 2011 wont be 2006 It will be more like 1977with the anti-Congress backlash replaced by an anti-Left Front backlash Though there is friction between the Trinamool and Congressthat alliance will probably hold till 2011 If the 2009 Lok Sabha or the recent by-election results are replicatedTrinamool-Congress should sweep 2011 with a two-thirds majority Even if two-thirds doesnt happenouster of the Left Front is certain and its leadership seems reconciled to that prospectespecially after municipal and assembly by-elections The Left does have a useful role to play It sometimesthough not alwaysasks the right questionsalthough invariably it comes up with wrong answers Some core support for Left will always remain in West Bengal (and Kerala and Tripura) and being out of power will be a useful detoxification exercisecleansing the party of corruption and hoodlumswhat the Left describes as the lumpen proletariat That explains the spring-of-hope and season-of-light mindset In all this uncertaintythere is near certainty about who will form the next government and be the next chief minister The light at the end of the tunnel can instead be the light of a train coming from the opposite direction Thats a quote ascribed to many peopleincluding Winston Churchill Apparentlysomeone has also calculated the odds When you see a light inside a tunnelsix times out of 11it is the light of a train and only five times out of 11 has the tunnel ended That explains the winter-of-despair and season-of-darkness mindset Yesthere will be political change in 2011 Will that necessarily lead to economic change A cusp is like a point of inflection in mathematicswhere the curve changes shape Howeverthat change in shape can be in either direction Whatever economic indicator is usedWest Bengals position in any inter-state comparison is just about averagewith a slide since the mid-1960s This is especially marked since 2003when many states jacked up their growth trajectories and West Bengals agriculture-based growth petered out Whether it is agricultureindustry or servicesthere is no denying West Bengals potentialdrawing on geographynatural resources and human capital For that potential energy to become kineticone needs transformation in landlabour and capital marketsand increases in productivitywith infrastructure thrown in What is sometimes not appreciated outside West Bengal is that there has been a flowering of entrepreneurship since the early 1990sunnoticed because it is small-ticket and small-time entrepreneurship The creation of a facilitating environment requires reduction in state intervention and efficiency in existing public expenditure The red corner hasnt been able to deliver on this If there is expectation combined with uncertainty in West Bengal todaythats because one isnt sure if the blue corner of the Trinamool will deliver Trinamools has been the classic opposition position Can a party of opposition become a party of government There has been no call yet for Trinamool to formulate a reform blueprint for the state The party can legitimately claim the benefit of doubt Howeverthere is enough fragmentary evidence to suggest that on economic reform issuesthere is little to differentiate the ideology of Tweedledum from that of Tweedledee Even if such a reform blueprint were to be formulatedwill Left opposition allow this to be implemented If Bihar can changewhy cant West Bengal Thats not quite a rhetorical questionbecause politics in the two states are different There is an issue somewhat distinct from traditional economic reform agendas and that is supplanting of governance and administration by the party system Even if this can be reversedwithout implementing core economic reformsincremental growth will follow IndeedBihars change can be interpreted as one of improved administrative delivery and governance Three decades and more of Left politics in West Bengal has consistently undermined institutionsincluding those of democracy Thuseven if Trinamool opposes privatisationindustry and changes in land usagethere is scope Unfortunatelythere are question marks there too Defeat of the Left in West Bengal requires appropriation of Left politics and instruments used to destroy institutions It requires co-opting of what the Left calls the lumpen At least in some parts of West BengalTrinamool has been able to accomplish that Had that not been the casethere would have been no violence Consequentlythere is little differentiation there too and the Tweedledum-Tweedledee image gets reinforced If one talks to people from West Bengal todayone notices a curious phenomenon Non-residents and non-Bengalis are much more optimistic about West Bengals futurecirca 2011than resident Bengalis are That may be because resident Bengalis have become so hardened by TINA (there is no alternative) that they refuse to believe that change is imminent until change actually occurs Alternativelyresident Bengalis may appreciate the Tweedledum-Tweedledee nuance better than others do They report a refrain among Trinamool cadres (not leaders): they looted for thirty yearsit is our turn now With a cleansing of the Leftperhaps a cleansing of the Trinamool will occur Perhaps Trinamool will merge with the Congress and deliver a credible alternative in West Bengalan unlikely scenario today Perhaps the Congressalonewill emerge as a credible alternativean even more unlikely scenario today Thats the reason there is schizophreniarejoicing at Lefts certain ousterbut scepticism about what will follow Cleansing and credibility require a churning and post-2011only that is certain As alwaysorder eventually emerges out
