Yes - Buddhadeb Bhattacharya should resign out of DISGUST. He should simply give up. The people of Bengal do not deserve to better their lot. Let them wallow in the misery that they are accustomed to while states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu forge ahead, and enterprising Bengalis continue their mass exodus from the state. These pseudo intellectuals should take a crash course in basic economics before opening their big mouths. They are no better than Mamata and her goons who are out to get their 15 minutes of fame. As someone pointed out in an earlier forum....would they have raised such a stink if 14 policemen had died instead? Finally, to all the anguished NRIs most of whom have done zilch for Bengal, I'd like to ask them what would have happened if an unruly mob of 5000 armed with crude bombs and pipeguns charged the famed NYPD (New York Police Dept)or the LAPD. I suppose the "men in blue" would just turn the other cheek. HYPOCRITES.
