Thw lwft has been returning to power in West Bengal because of their commitment to the sharecroppers and bargadars. However, after achieving some success in the agricultural sector, it is natural to move on to industries. With 98% land in Bengal being agricultural land, no government can earmark only the non-agricultural land for industries. The Trinamool, in spite of khowing this too well, has successfully misled the people of the state for some time. Question is - how far will they succeed.

Let's see. You may be right, but you may be wrong too. 16 May will tell us the thing.

I don't think 16th May will tell us the real story. We will know only what the LF cadres have allowed to happen in most of the rural constituencies. Just allow the elections to be held under strict army rule in all booths and then you will see the actual reflection of people's mind. Until then, it will be the cadre-raj.

Mr Indian, do you remember 2001? In that year, assembly election was held strictly under the surveillance of the central forces, and Mamata Banerjee publicly said that she was sure of victory because the election was held freely and fairly. And, do you remember the results? The Left came back to power with igger margin than in 1996!
the communists got chance riding on the wave of Janata wave in 1977 after people in all of north and east part of India were angry with congress post-emergency rule.that time communists fought 6th Lok sabha having alliance with janata party in which Jan Sangh was also a part.the communists were a weak bunch of bidi-smokers,marginal farm workers and hindu `refugees` of erstwhile east pakistan.the congress led by Indira gandhi was ruling party and a popular Sidharth Shankar Ray was very confident CM of congress ruled Bengal had good clout in Delhi and opposition in bengal was communists and other left brand parties who never had any chance of capturing power in WB. But unfortunately after 6TH Loksabha election riding on the wave of anti-congress mood and folly of Prafulla Sen the so- called marxists came to power in 1977 and since the story of rigging, intimidating voters,selective deleting of names of hindi-speaking voters from the list and use of force in rural bengal by its cadres made them win election after election and saying themselve as friends of poor and labours and protectors of muslims. All these years since 1977 the communists found the main opposition congress as dull and spent force in bengal and people were left with no option but to caste their votes for the communists though they did`nt approve their policies,and politics.The main opposition in bengal as congress had become like B team of communists and role of opposion should be taken over by BJP in WB.

How did you forget that the left always had a strong base in West Bengal? How did you forget the United Front ministries of 1967 and 1969?

Re: Re: Re: west bengal......a legacy

Mr Banerjee, Everyone knows the following: 1) West Bengal successfully implemented the land reform policy, the only state in India to do so, as certified by the World Bank 2) West Bengal successfully implemented the 3-tier Panchayati system in India, the first state of India to do so, again as certified by the world bank These two measures for ever changed the rural agrarian economy of the state. In 1977, less than 60% of the land was agricultural, whereas in 2009, it now stands at 98%! This speaks of the good side of these two measures, where the people of the village can manag their affairs and own their land! But, perhaps, you'll never understand the full implications of these measures!

They will repeat for the umpteenth time "Land Reforms". And then they will say "Centre didn't provide money or support". We've heard it all n times. They have failed in education sector, health sector, infrastructure, industry, human resource development, governance, power, transport, sports, youth development, PWD so on and so forth. In agriculture there have been a slight improvement but it is because of the improvement in general awareness of the people.
PALS , YOU KNOW THAT POPULATION ON HINDUS ARE DECREASING(25%/ YEAR) AND POPULATION OF MUSLIMS , CRISTIAN ARE INCREASING (800% YEAR). IN THIS SCENARIO, HOW MANY YEARS WE CAN SAVE INDIA FROM DIVISION? NOW THIS TIME IS FOR AWAKE AND THINK SERIOUSLY THAT IF UNIFORM POLICY WILL NOT APPLY THEN HOW CAN SAVE FROM THE COMING DISASTER( THAT MAY BE DIVISION INDIA ARE CHANGE OF RELIGION . SEE EXAMPLE OF PAKISTAN).

Then your great Buddhababu should have given them an alternate site, maybe non agricultural land in Purulia. Tata has already bid goodbye to Bengal, Buddhababu doesnt have any alternative industry in mind. The commies have taken Bengal back by 50 years compared to rest of India.
Reporter of this atticle must have bagged hand some money for publishing this vague report. Who has given her authority to humiliate west Bengal people? 32 Years of ruling is a peoples verdict, it has been imposed by free & fair election participated by West Bengal people. Confirmed by Election Commission.
Do you know the no of corruption among political leaders is the lowest in India? Do you actually visit any village of West Bengal? Have you not noticed that advancement of Village people? Have you not noticed any positive sign? Yes being a Bengali I feel proud of our State Government. Yes there is some problem, which should have been rectified.
Yes there is an International conspiracy on Changing West Bengal Government. Do you observed the nos of Hoardings belongs to Opposition party are much more then the ruling party. Where from they are getting this huze money.
Re: FALSE REPORT

Dear Mr. Mitra, I have travelled in remotest of places in WB for work & pleasure. I know the abysmal condition people live in some zones of Purulia, 24 Pgs (S). Tea Garden workers have starved to death. If you ask me I have not seen any positive signs of any significant growth in the living conditions of rural people expected from a Govt, who are in power for 32 years. In the intial stages land reform was the only and major contribution of the Left front, which was definitely a sucess. But slowly and slowly the Panchyat Pradhans. Local MLA's & M.P's have become as autocratic as the erstwhile zamindars. It is not that I support the freak in the oposition, but face the facts and do not get carried away singing the praises of the left Front
Re: Re: FALSE REPORT

Mr. Ray, I agree with you 100%. Add to it the bad governance, poor work culture due to CITU & worst service levels across all levels. Kolkata has lost the charm becoz of all these.

Free and fair election? My foot! What's your idea of free & fair election? Rigging, booth capturing, killing, arsoning? You seem to be either a die-hard commie or living in a fool's paradise. Wake up before it's too late.

Prashant, There is NO communism in India. We are a multiparty democracy. CPM is just another political party...so, do your homework and read about India first, before posting these nonsense!
Why did they try to bring industrial development into Bengal? they should have forever kept the people poor and backward and should have been whipping up passions. Then people will vote for them. This is what Mamta did with Singur and Nadigram and now she is succeding.
Re: Communists have done a mistake
by Haramohan Ray on May 12, 2009 01:00 PM
Let's wait. People may not be fools. Mamata wants to perpetuate the poverty of the villagers. But the villagers may give an answer to her, who knows?
Spending of money is vital in this recession market .It is good to ses heavy spending happened in this recession market .I am not saying that there should be election everytime but my point is who ever comes to power must spend on 1.Rural Infra --30% of total allocation on infra 2. Roads and housing 40% of total budget
3.Rural health--10% of total health budget
4. SMEs in rural India --loan by Banks at 2 % interest
High spending on above sector only will create demands and demands will create more supply ,services .I can say this election spending at least created demands for Ad agencies,paper ,consumer durables ,telephone,auto ,steel ,increasing earning of rural populations
