Thanks Mr. Parichay for the informations. Alas, our favourite site Rediff does not have all these informations.

Once again, Parichay, update yourself. Do you really agree with the Nasscom-Gartner rank of WB power infrastructure? If you live in WB you'll know the unscheduled power-cuts for long hours. It's almost similar to capital punishment to live in Kolkata during the summer becoz of these power cuts. And poor examinees face the max problem. Even before the Madhyamik exams this year, two units failed resulting in long uts. If you go to other cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Mumbai etc. the power cuts are for certain hours in a day and scheduled. Everyone knows what time there will be a power cut and for how long. Total power cut in a day ranges from 30min to 3 hrs. Can you compare this to WB? Also the SDP figures are farcical with major portion of the growth coming from agriculture. Please read the data in totality. Please don't blindly copy paste from Wikipedia. Agree that WB has the 3rd largest economy b'coz majority of the ppl belong to the middle class. The IT dream is fading away with WIPRO & Infosys stopping future investments in WB becoz of poor infrastructure & unscheduled bandhs. WB has promoted FDI but only post 2006. That too only Buddhadev & Nirupam Sen are promoting FDI. Others in the party are yet to mature to the reality of FDI requirement for WB. Just try to set-up a new industry in Haldia and see the instruction from your own party office and the reality will hit you like a bullet.

Which brand visky or Ganja you have taken while making such statement and which another Ganjadi friend gave you this information
CPMs industrialization policy: Threaten poor MULSIM farmers and grab land. If farmers dont agree, kill farmers, and grab land. Sell to capitalists, and enjoy the profit.
In Bengal, Mulsims are 25% of population, and CPM ensured that Mulsims get only 1% of the jobs in the goverment.
Sorry boss, no other party does this... Mulsims are going to teach CPM a very bitter lesson in this election.
Other reasons: 2. Left alliance partners CPI, RSP, and FB are angry against CPMs big brother fascist attitude, and they are against forcible land grabbing. 3. Left supporters are angry with Left parties for supporting Congress for 4 years. 4. Congress-TMC alliance are conslidating anti-Left votes.

ha ha ha Parichay. Please first mention what is this list about? Also, please check the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) survey of Oct 2007. It shows the ranking of states based on quality of life: BIG STATES
RANK R A N K 2007 2006 2006 2004 2003 01 PUNJAB 1 1 1 1 02 KERALA 2 2 2 2 03 HP 3 3 3 3 04 TN 4 4 4 4 05 GUJ 7 7 7 6 06 MAH 6 6 6 7 07 K'TAKA 8 8 8 8 08 H'YANA 5 5 5 5 09 U'KHAND 9 9 9 NA 10 ANDHRA 10 11 11 10 11 J&K 11 10 10 9 12 R'THAN 12 12 13 11 13 MP 14 14 12 13 14 ASSAM 16 16 15 14 15 W'BENGAL 13 13 14 12 16 C'GARH 15 15 16 NA 17 UP 17 17 17 15 18 ORISSA 18 18 18 16 19 J'KHAND 19 19 19 NA 20 BIHAR 20 20 20 17 Big states are those with area of over 35,000 sq km and population of over 5 million. It's available on NFHS site but you'll have to collate it statewise & then arrange in the right format.
Finally, please wake up. The rest of the world is marching ahead at jet speed. WB need to march ahead too and catch up.

It is the % list (state wise) of people below poverty line.
No one went to Bengal has ever been hated cause he/she is from other place. No one went to Bengal has ever been threatened cause he/she is from other place.
No one went to Bengal has ever been pressurized to learn Bengali…..we Bengalis try to communicate with people in their language……you laugh at our Hindi but we still keep trying…….never asking you to speak in Bengali.
We never chant “Jai Bengla” ….. it is synonymous to an eye infection (conjunctivitis) in Bengal…..when ever we say “jai”……we say “Jai Hind”.
We never chanted “Jai Maa Kali” or “Jai Maa Durga” in Eden Gardens…..like some chants “Ganpati…..”.
So many Bihari brothers/sisters are living there, so many Gujju, Marwari business man having business there but no one has to face any issue for not being Bengali.
Here students collect fund to celebrate Iftar Party, Saraswati Puja. Here no one ever been disrespected for their religious belief. We had thrown caste away from our life.
We believe in freedom, we believe in equality.
We welcome Maradona we over crowed our stadiums. 4 lacs people were there to show their love for a non-Indian.
We are no so materialistic, we are cheerfully chaotic…….we know to love.
You find us fool……..so we are……..we are proud to be so…….we are proud to continue our legacy of being Indian first……Jai Hind.

"The state's GDP stands at no 18 out of 28 states, the school dropout rate is 78 per cent (below Bihar, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Sikkim), primary education is the third lowest out of the 35 states and Union territories, only 28 per cent of the population has access to potable drinking water (compared to 78.4 per cent in Maharashtra and 84.2 per cent in Tamil Nadu), infant mortality is in the front ranks (although female foeticide is at the bottom), there are 77.2 lakh unemployed people in the state, while 55,000 small and medium industries have closed down."

look mr. Bheja , every one of us now polarized, specially in WB. Some very very serious issues have caused it. Now either I am CPM or I am TC in thsi state. And we are not going to hear our against parties. This is fact. I salute WB ppl that they have raised very seroius points about SEZ etc issues for that practically DELHI is going to re-think again.
And we sholud have national debet on this issues. As your statistics there are several statistics that goes against TC in state level and CONG against National Level.
Just an example : Do you Know SOMEN MITRA has land in SINGUR? He procured the land during TATA came to SINGUR ,BENGAL. That Fellow is fighting against LF with the symbol of TC in this election. I want to know why ----
a. MAMATA gave ticket to him in this election?
b. The Land that has been purchased by him ... is not a fertile one?????????

Yes I am listening this explanation for last 40 years from Bengalee Guys to satisfy them self as they know they can not compete progress of other states except may be bihar They have to helplessly watch all youth migrating for job to other states Girls migrating & working as bar girls in Mumbai or Noida This is fantastic achievement of Bengal justified and explained by bengalee idiot intellectuals
Re: Bengal never hates…we know only to love

Very good. But how does it help in development my friend? Does this justify 32 years of anarchism & monopolism?
Please wake up to the rest of the world and embrace reality instead of living in a fools paradise.

all right wing parties mis advertisd left states to country....becoz if people started to listen to left ideologies....for Congress-BJP it will become difficult to devide people and exploit them.
Last lok sabha poll voting % in Bengal was 73. This election in two phases it is 75%...we are the most politically aware and active people. The question is what is devlopment.....is making Ambanis richer development?
Re: Re: Re: Bengal never hates…we know only to love

Sorry to disagree Parichay. I'm well acquainted with LF vote machinery, rigging, booth capturing, arsoning etc. I don't trust these figures.

Why are you so hyper? Did tagore write 'Janagana' for China? Did Netaji sacrificed for 'China'?
Disrespecting people is not good....share your point,in the country of 100 cror there will be disagreement....that does not mean that people should be disrespected.
* Communist leaders in India are real hypocrites. * They advocate anti-capitalism to Indians. Almost all Communist leaders in India have sent their sons and daughters to America as immigrants in the pretext of higher studies.
since independence Bengalis have been voting traitor communists with the full knowledge how nasty the communists are,to the people and the nation too.it is beyond any dout that all Bengalis are still living in stone ages while rest of INDIA is in 21st century.

When Mr. Mukherjee protested against your baseless accusations of Bengalees and Communists, then you showed your true culture. You man (or woman) you do not have the guts to disclose your identity. But it is proved that your parents (with all respect to them) have given birth to a rotten brain.
