CPIM CAN DO ANYTHING

One who is not from Bengal and have not seen the activities of the communists cannot just imagine what is possible and what not. These communists start analysing the election result from the polling day itself and prepare themselves. the election day for them is like the studious lot in schools. like the d day of the exam after an year of rigorous preparation(here it is 5 years). strange it may sound but its true. they are meticulous to this extent. in west bengal there are more Party Office than Post Office. They have such a network that they can act as a better substitute of the current Indian Postal System. And as far as this Nandigram ruckus is concerned, it was a show off of the power that they wield. Only just this time it went out of control. Its like fire. You can play with it. But you cant control it always. The central leadership has no control on the regional stronhold. the local leaders have access to firearms. The police is under their control. They can teach anyone a lesson, anytime. Now how can you expect the Chief Minister to control the local hooligans once you have shown them the taste of power it is very difficukt to restrain them. And now you see the result. Once they saw some resistance, they went furious and the result was this massacre. The external world came to know about the figures of casualty from the MEDIA. But were the media able to reach that place. Its difficult for outside people to enter the hinterland and come out with exact details. The figures were the tip of the iceberg. Bodies were thrown into the rivers and dumped under ground. Nothing unusual for the arms wielding local hooligans. More so when the Police were with them. Whatever we may say now, those poor people are already dead. We all want industrialisation and prosperity. But at this cost?
