I think the buddha govt has not done anything great for bengal. The Left fron has 130000 crores public debt. The villages of Bengal are much worse off than villages of even Rajasthan, Maharashtra. Kanu Sanyal has given the figure of 356 dead due to starvation in one tea garden alone and about 200 dad in another. But if one farmer dies in andhra or in maharashtra it becomes national news but the media has been bough over in bengal and also some of the national media is more intent on broadcasting BOB Woolmers death than the large scale genocide committed by the west bengal government. Only the rich in west bengal have become richer A certain business class is now the favourite of the marxists. They are getting land at cheap rates from them all round the city of Kolkata. they are not opening any industry except some sponge iron plants and som IT industires. The Communists had blocked the advent of computers in Bengal in 1984. They have made 70 laks joblees by not teaching english in the primary level for the last 30 years. They have systematically seen to it that people remain poor and only their supporters remain rich. They have squandered Central Govt funds and siphoned them off to their party fund and their party has now become one of he richest parties in the country. Even some of the intellectuals who have been suporting them for so many years realise hat they were actually wrong in doing chachagiri of the left.
