I don?t know about Kerala, Tripura, but I know about West Bengal. Please check the facts before writing. West Bengal is in top position in production in rice, vegetables, fish in the country and second in potatao. Last financial year it has produced 150 lakh metric ton rice and 120 lakh metric ton vegetables.It is in third position in per hectre agricultural production in the country, after Punjub and Haryana. Its SDP growth rate is second highest in the country, after Karnataka. Kolkata region in third position in country?s total GDP, after Mumbai and Delhi region. Among country?s top 10 fastest growing regions West Bengal has two regions (Kolkata and Durgapur-Asansole) Though it has has several problems like other states but it is not like such kind of state like Maharastra where one side industry and other side farmers are committing suicide daily. It got second highest investment in 2007, after Gujrat. In last 6-7 years Bengal sees huge amount of investments in several sectors like IT, steel, agro products, manufacturing industry like motor car, bike, auto component, shipyard, wagon, railway coach etc, real estate, retail etc. In last year it got 1 lakh cr investment proposal in steel sector only which is third highest in country after Orissa and Jharkhand. One by one projects of Jindal, Videocon, Jai balaji and others are coming up.
If a state like West Bengal is poorest then what about Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, MP etc?
