There is a general feeling and idea among people who are not from Bengal/Calcutta that the commies are the root cause of all trouble in WB and if people of bengal defeat them in elections and throw them out then everything will be great for WB. I am sure that they don't have any idea about the political reality in WB. I am not shouting for the commies or telling that they are great, but you can be rest assured that there is no credible opposition in WB and they are mildly saying a bunch of complete useless people. Its also very silly to say that commies didn't allow them to grow, what sort of a political party you are if you cannot fight your oponent. So before making comments about WB Govt have a look at Trinommol, BJP etc in WB; you will surely say that, thank god that this opposition is not in power,however bad the commies may be this opposition is worst

i agree with you. one should see development from non-political perspective. history tells us cpm contributed big way in deindustrializing bengal. but now current cm is pragmatic, in fact he has been voted no.1 investor friendly cm in india and this is not cpim data. instead it is mamata-bjp and all others trying to create hurdles in industrialization. as apolitical person i am in favouring anybody who is in favour of development. furthermore, it is wrong to brand all communists bad. people such as mrinal sen are declared communists, but their contribution to society is beyond question. one might not believe in a particular ideoloy, but, it is foolish on part of a commoner to make statement condemning communists per se.
