Answer to you Babu:
1) After the land reforms during the 1980s West Bengal and Tripura became prosperous in agriculture. Just travel by Rajdhani Express from New Delhip To Calcutta. Until you reach West Bengal border it is parched brown land; the moment the train enter Barakar to west Bengal it is green and green . Farmers are now very welloff that is the reason they do not want give up their lands. Agroindustries have created a lot of job in food processing industries. Arambag Chicken is exporting meat to Japan even.
2) see the andswer to 1
3) Industries in West Bengal were destroyed during 1965-67 by Morarji Desai, Jajjivan Ram, Bhutalingam, Y.V.Chavan as refused to give any order, any license-quotas, any loans for the private sector industries in West Bengal and removed everything from West Bengal ( State Bank of India in 1956, LIC in 1965, General Insurance in 1967, even the Jute Research Institute. Air-India since 1966 refused to touch Calcutta airport. No public sector industries except for Durgapur Steel came to west Bengal anyway since 1950. Because of these discriminastions industries were wiped out in 1965-67. However after the removal of license raj, industries are now coming back, there is no plot left in most areas, that is the reason the government has to destrot farm land to set up industries.

3) Agitations in west Bengal are being caused by Mamata Banerjee and his Trinamul Congress which is a criminal organization. They have caused a lot of damages.
