Trinamool Congress Mla Comparing Mamata With Sarada Devi Creates Furore Once more, there is confirmation of the familiar public plaint that in their zeal to nestle evercloser to the ‘supreme ‘leader of the moment by using barefaced flattery, practicingpoliticians often cross all limits. Mostly the outcome is amusing, even as the glorified bigwigssquirm in embarrassment while people enjoy a hearty laugh!A very good example comes not surprisingly from West Bengal where even accomplishedleaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) have been known to outdo each other insinging the praises of Chief minister Mamata Banerjee. No less laughable on such occasionsare the consequences that follow -- including the desperate efforts at self-justification bythe grovelling politician to defend his/ her tasteless toadyism.On June 21, Dr Nirmal Maji high profile TMC MLA addressing a gathering created asensation, claiming that chief minister Mamata Banerjee was none other the reincarnationof the universally revered saint Sarada Devi, wife of great spiritual leader RamakrishnaParamhansa. Dr Maji, who in terms of political influence counts far more that the juniorMinister of State for Health, explained that like Sarada Devi, Ms Banerjee was also bornbetween the holy transitional hours when Mahaashnati ‘tithi’ turns into Mahanavami. Besides, before she died, Dr Maji said, Sarada Devi had told Swami Vivekananda andothers that she would be reborn in the Kalighat area of South Kolkata – near HarishChatterjee Street, apparently. In her new avatar, she would again engage herself withservice to the poor and spiritual work, and also participate in political activities!Ages later, the telltale details all fitted and Ms Banerjee was the incarnation of the greatsaint…’She is Sarada, she is Nivedita’, Maji concluded, as his spellbound audience listened.As the video went viral, not everyone, including TMC supporters themselves, could remainquiet. In the social media, hordes of underwhelmed commoners expressed their opinion ofDr Maji and his comments, without bothering too much about the nature of their language!As matters spiralled out of control, even TMC leaders admitted publicly that Maji’s muchlaboured efforts to praise his leader had been heavily overdone on this occasion.Said Kunal Ghosh, TMC spokesman, ‘His comments were unfortunate, unwarranted anddevoid of common sense. At times the competitive sycophancy (chatukarita in Bengali)among people trying to ingratiate themselves with their leaders is sickening.’ However, hewas careful enough to add, ‘Besides Mamata Banerjee, as a leader who is popular all overIndia, needs no such efforts to promote her image. She shines alone, in her own glory’.Not everyone agreed with Ghosh. Congress MP and leader Adhir Choudhury said that itwas time for the TMC to discipline people like Dr Maji, who obviously lacked dignity andminimum self-respect, as he publicly abased himself before his supreme leader! ‘How low can you stop!’ he wondered. State BJP leader Dilip Ghosh and Left leaders too spoke along similar lines. The BJPleader said that the very idea of comparing someone like Sarada Devi to a practicingpolitician already exposed as a corrupt, untruthful, scheming, vengeful politician wasabominable. A Left leader said that through his obnoxious sycophantic comments, Maji, whohad achieved a notoriety of sorts some time ago by ordering doctors of Medical college toperform a dialysis on the pet dog of a top TMC leader, had insulted Bengal’s culturalheritage.A dignified rebuke came from the Ramakrishna Mission headquarters at Belur, Howrah. Swami Subirananda, in a brief, anguished statement, said there was nowhere any mentionof the kind of conversation quoted by Dr Maji in the rich, well-maintained archives of themission and its chequered history. Maji’s unfounded claim appeared totally meaninglessand irrelevant and the mission was deeply distressed by his behaviour. Protests anddistress calls had been received from large numbers of devotees and mission members inIndia and abroad.Mission authorities fervently appealed to all sections of the society not to engage in suchaimless wild pursuits in the name of the greatest spiritual leaders in the country.There was however, no word issued from the Chief Minister’s office in West Bengal, nor anyapology from Dr Maji himself.Amused observers pointed out that even in Independent India, the cult of mindlesssycophancy was far from dead. While late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was strongly - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara against personality cults.

Ahmedabad, Pune and Chennai are the most affordable housing markets in the country: Knight Frank India Knight Frank India in its proprietary study Affordability Index for H1 2022 cited that all markets have seen a decline in affordability due to the recent rise in home loan rates as a result of the 90 BPS rise in REPO rates. As per the midyear assessment of the affordability index, Ahmedabad is the most affordable housing market amongst the top eight cities[2], with a ratio of 22% followed by Pune and Chennai at 26% each in the first half of the calendar year 2022.Knight Frank’s proprietary Affordability Index, which tracks the EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) to income ratio for an average household, witnessed steady improvement from 2010 to 2021 across the eight leading cities of India especially during the pandemic when the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cut REPO rates to decadal lows. However, with two consecutive REPO rate hikes, the cumulative 90 bps rate hikes by
RBI has decreased home purchase affordability on an average by 2% across markets and increased EMI load by 6.97%.Note: For H1 2022, affordability and income levels are calculated keeping all variables constant, except for the interest rate.Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India said, “The home affordability, due to the rise in home loan rates by 90 BPS, has worsened in the last couple of months. On an average affordability has decreased by 200 – 300 basis points across the major markets. However, despite the hike in the rates, markets remain largely affordable. This, coupled with the positive change in sentiments towards home ownership, we expect demand to remain unhindered with the momentum backed by the latent demand in the market continuing. Further, factors like strong economic growth outlook, financial stability and job security.
