Basically I am from rural area of Bengal. I have seen lot of improvement in power sector in Bengal in last 10 years. In 80s, early 90s power situation in Bengal was horrible, power cut was there for hours. But situation was changed when Jyoti Basu made Sankar Sen (Jadavpur University VC and an electrical engineer) as power minister in 1991. Then power transmission, new power plants and other improvements have been done. He made so many sub stations in rural areas and low voltage problem, power cut have been solved tremendrously which were main problems in village area. Therefore, in last 10 years power situation got improved a lot which I noticed in my village area also, thanks to Sankar Sen.
I have stayed Bangalore, New Delhi and power situation is just horrible there, can?t be compared with Kolkata. In last 3-4 months some power cuts are in Bengal, but I don?t know why. Because in recent days new power plants have come up already. But what Governor is doing that is totally politics, unwanted. I wonder his knowledge about constitutional right.
