The Communists in Bengal are ruling for the last 30 years. It is really a very long time that they are enjoying the power with virtually No Opposition in the state. To be in power has become a habit for them hence the leaders of CPI(M) behaves like Zamindars. They are extremely arrogant and cannot tolerate any criticism. They do not even care for their allies in left front like CPI, Forward Block, RSP etc. The political atmosphere in Bengal is such (specially in rural areas) that if you are a CPI(M) supporter, you have the right to do anything & everything and if not then you will be terrorised & tortured in many ways. Since 1977 (when they came to power) they have succesfully turned the party into a regiment and every cadre acts as a loyal soldier. They have total control over the police & administration. The incident like Nandigram had happened many times in Bengal during the past 30 years however this time due to exccesive coverage by innumerable TV channels it came into the daylight. Actually, it is a total failure of the opposition parties in Bengal which has strenthened the hands of CPI(M). At the end of the day inspite of everything, it is quite impossible to eradicate CPI(M) from Bengal.
