I think you knowledge about development of West Bengal is limited to Calcutta only...Look at the villages...In West Bengal, we have a worthless government, who, after 30 years of rule, shout during each and every election, that we need health, we need education, we need emplyment...as is the opposition is responsible for all this...And above all we have a literacy rate of 30% which has allowed them to fool people and stay in power for so long without doing anything for development...They resisted IT from entering Bengal and now Jyoti Basu is trying to wash his hands out of it by saying that its was a great mistake...Grow up...see other states run by Communists...Look at Kerala...How they alternate governments...First learn how to vote...how to create a strong opposition...is the CPIM as a party keep on getting absolute majority every election, then god also cannot save West Bengal from utter misery.
