Double trouble

It seems the United Progressive Alliance’s trouble with its ally Trinamool Congress (TMC) refuses to abate. After raising the red flag over Pranab Mukherjee’s nomination for the post of President, TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee is now planning to train her guns over the UPA’s new-found urgency to usher in faster economic reforms. She is particularly believed to be peeved about any move to decontrol urea prices, which is on the radar of the new dispensation in North Block. She is planning to write to the Prime Minister opposing the move. Her bête noire, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), is also not in favour of any proposal to decontrol urea prices.
