This is compulsory in all states but find out how many get their pf and ESI due when they want it. please visit few ESI hospitals not only in Bengal but many other states too you will understand the meaning of health insurance. please compare minimum wages of construction workers, marginal workers in Bengal with developed states like maharashtra, tamilnadu and newly developing states like haryana. To be happy with your performance should be judged with facts and figures. I wish best of luck if all feel satisfied for last 3 decades of rule
