Funny things have been incorporated in the manifesto. Obviously one can surmise that Banerjee had a hand in the preparation of it. One need not read the document between the lines as a cursory glance even projects the glaring mistakes in it.

Just to vilify the Left Front she says that though Sir Ronald Ross had been awarded the Nobel Prize for invention of the medicine to cure malaria three hundred years ago working in this city malaria is still the scourge of the citizen. Was the Noble Prize instituted 300 years ago? Alfred Bernard Nobel who instituted the Prize was born on October 21, 1833 and died on 10th December, 1896. Scientist Ronald Ross separated the malaria bacteria and got the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1902 only and not 300 years ago as claimed by Mamata Banerjee. Ronald Ross was not born 300 years ago. His date of birth is 13th May, 1857. In 1897 Ross discovered that the bacteria of malaria got a shelter in the gastro-intestinal tract of the human body. Obviously, Banerjee had no time to go through the scientific details. Ross did not invent any medicine for curing malaria but made a break through in research for curing the disease. One may discard as mer trash the assertion of the Trinamul Congress but it does not Banerjee and her party to monotonously harping on the same tune that the Left Front has imported politics in the sphere of education.

To revert to the earlier manifesto of the Trinamul Congress issued before the last Lok Sabha election in 1998. In it Banerjee and her party put in the mouth of Balgangadhar Tilak the famous observation made by Gopalkrishan Gokhale. Gokhale’s observation is "What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow." Whatever the Trinamul Congress says, takes it with a grain of salt.
