RE:CPI (M) in West Bengal
by deep bhowmik on Oct 29, 2007 05:38 PM

exactly. I would be very happy if we had an alternative. I know cpm had ruined bengal in many ways. but now that the CM is trying revive that state (which is why many of us could return to bengal with good jobs), didi would leave no stones unturned to spoil the story. They are projecting west bengal as an extrapolation of nandigram and trying to sell the story that everyone lives in fear here!

see the report below....

"Human security


If human development is defined as a process of widening the range of people%u2019s choices, human security means that people can exercise these choices safely and freely and with some confidence that today%u2019s opportunities will not be totally lost tomorrow. The crime situation in West Bengal has always been better in comparison to most other states in India, and it also seems to have been improving over time. Not only was the rate of cognisable crime (relative to population) in West Bengal less than half the national average, it was almost one-fourth of the crime rate in the worst region, Delhi, and not very much higher than the best performing region, Lakshadweep. In terms of rank, West Bengal had the fourth lowest crime rate among all 32 of the states and Union territories in the country. Furthermore, the number of cognisable crimes in West Bengal actually decreased over the period 1997-2001, which is in marked contrast to most of the major states. The rate of violent crimes in West Bengal was 13.4 per lakh population
