My dear J.Sen,

There is a proverb "Better late then never". Now the time when the WB govt. woke up and started the move for Industrilisation. That uMamta Banerjee and her gang vowed to stop the late progress also. Can you please tell us whats her intention? Its not clear to me and nor to the people of bengals. I agree because of the late progress we are far behind from other states but what that lady is driving us. To no where. So please before blamimg someone, its better to see the other side of the coin.

Industrialization o Bengal. Are you day dreaming Gentleman? With Politicians like Mamata Banerjee and the let rule o the last 30years have ruined West Bengal. Do you remember the Great Jyoti Basu did not allowed computerization and stopped English. Only Bengali with no computer has taken West Bengal into the deep sea.

Kedem absolutely right

Unemployment highest in a communist state. The govt prefers the citizens to make ends meet on their own anyways they want , which includes piracy, dacoity, illegal trade and not the least smuggling.

Life expectancy has reduced to 55 average. Roads are 100 years old.And the state govt. dares tell the communisyt govt. for not aiding the ailing state.

a third front of some form or another is sorely needed
by Ramesh on Apr 12, 2009 03:19 AM

It would surely be good for India if the Politburos become defunct. But surely not good if the prodigious work done by left stream intellectuals in India become irrelevant.

INC bridled to its dynastic world view can not accommodate their expansive vision. If it can give rid of its umbilical moorings bulk of the left thought heritage can be safely accommodated and expected to flourish.

BJP has immersed itself into Hindutva and seemingly shall no opt for anything else. If they upgrade to Bharatiya world-view a significant section of left stream could find place in their world view. After all ABV had famously said before opting for RSS he toyed with the idea of becoming a communist!

As things stand, a third front of some form or another is sorely needed to express rest of the opinion.

Holier than thou Messers Karat and Yechuri
by Jay Sen on Apr 11, 2009 02:43 PM

Continuing from my previous post:

Mr. Karat and Mr. Yechuri have no business criticising other political parties. First of all, they are the JNU Leftist types, i.e armchair ideologues. leaders without any mass base. Leaders who are armchair commies, jet setting around and spewing outdated philosophies. Lenin and Mao's ghosts would be proud of them!!! :-)

What gets me irritated no end is their Holier Than Thou posturing in TV panel bebates, public meetings, etc. As if they are the bastions of virtue and good rule. My foot!!!

Take a look at where Left rule has taken WB, Kerala and Tripura - and the results are for all to see. Communist COUNTRIES like Russia and China either collapsed or changed course to practical, business oriented policy and activity.

But our friends here still hang on to outdated thinking. I think these guys get paid off by the Chinese and others to keep India down.

Shameless hypocrites these Communists
by Jay Sen on Apr 11, 2009 02:35 PM

Communists have become hopelessly jurassic in their thinking. Let us take West Bengal. A frontline state till the 1970s, it languishes today - thanks to the Red friends. Calcutta lost its pre-eminence and today occupies a cameo role in India's business landscape. The arrogant commies hounded out industries - all in the name of labor rights. Other cities - notably Bangalore and Delhi, gained at Calcutta's expense. Lakhs of intelligent, educated Bengali middle-class left Cal for good.

Take a relatively new industry like IT Services. Bengal held all the potential winning elements - intelligent human resources, good edu institutions, a large metro Calcutta, reliable power gen, etc. With some intelligent, sincere policy making, Bengal could have easily become a big IT hub.

But that was not to be. The leftists - pathetic obscrurantists - had no clue. They were busy endlessly debating outdated ideologies over tea and cigarettes, from tea-shops to govt offices. Many states with humbler credentials raced ahead. And Bengal gave them the walkover.

Horrifying result: continuing brain drain, from engineering education onwards. By the time our comarades woke up (thru a sincere gentleman Mr. Buddhadev Bhattacharya), it was pretty late.

The disastrous education policy (English lanugage to be taught from Standard VI onwards), massively disadvantged Bengali youth.

These are only few examples of the Left mis-rule and their anti-people policies.

Pak accuses India of terror.
by Indian on Apr 11, 2009 09:27 AM  | Hide replies

Now the B#tards have started their old game once again.

We need to crush them and with our weak, incompetent, minority-appeasing UPa it's not possible.

Friends beware, we will be ignoring a grave peril and put all our lives in great danger if we ignore these now.

There is no place for any third front in our country. We need to have only two parties like any other stable and successful democracy. We need to create a strong opposition for Cong. Other than BJP no party fits this bill and their strong anti-terror and pro-army stand will do us a world of good.

Incidentally, UPA has proposed to focus on VVIP security post poll (instead of the security of the common man like you and me). Does this give any message to you?

Re: Pak accuses India of terror.
by cm dhingra on Apr 11, 2009 12:25 PM
Very well said Mr. Indian. I fully agree with you. As a true Indian like you, I strongly feel that time has come for both the Congress & BJP to have a broad understanding honestly on the major issues to rule the country one by one. Whichever party among the two gets more MPs should be Ruling party and the other one should support it from outside for the full term.This arrangement will eliminate the chances of Third, Fourth & Fifth Fronts and Regional Frustrated Players (Who loose election in their Assemblies & become Kingmakers at centre) forever to mess up with the Political System. The broad understanding should be as under:-
Congress should support - Mandir Nirman, Removal of Article 370, Uniform Civil Code,Strong Anti Terror Laws, Strong Laws against Corruption at all levels, No Criminals in Politics, No Appeasement of Minorities, Removal of all types of Reservation in Education & Jobs (Exept for Women,Handicapped & Ex.Armed Forces People)& making Money Power for Horsetrading of MPs/MLAs a criminal Offence etc.
The BJP should support Free Market Economy, Treating all Indians irrespective of their cast & relegion (except Bangladeshis,Nepalis,Tibbatis)as Indian Nationals, Respect to All Relegions, Free School Education to all, free Medical facilities for people of BPL category, Strong Armed Forces and Strong Presence in World Affairs etc.
If such a system is worked out by both Congress & BJP, Nobody can stop our India to become Great Super Power very soon.

Communists are political parasites
by P Dutta on Apr 11, 2009 08:40 AM

It is worth noting that communists invariably become very very active at the time of elections with some pet slogans like secular front, third front, anti-congress ant-BJP front. Earlier it used to be Late Harkishan Singh Surjit and now it is a combination of Yechuri and Karat, leading such hysterical cry. The obvious objective primarily is finding some safe backs of some regional parties that can be easily mounted so that these parties carry their loads along with their own to win some seats for them.These communists know very well that they have no base except in West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura and they cannot win a single seat in any other state on their own. In order therefore to project themselves as paties with all India base they have to look for some regional forces who can be easily befooled into carry them on their back and ensure for them a seat or two in their states. I think it is high time these regional parties read deep into the games that these communists play in elections.

Truth
by New York on Apr 11, 2009 07:34 AM

* Communist leaders in India are real hypocrites.
* They advocate anti-capitalism to Indians.
Almost all Communist leaders have sent their sons and daughters to America as immigrants in the pretext of higher studies.
