Yes - Buddhadeb Bhattacharya should resign out of DISGUST. He should simply give up. The people of Bengal do not deserve to better their lot. Let them wallow in the misery that they are accustomed to while states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu forge ahead, and enterprising Bengalis continue their mass exodus from the state. These pseudo intellectuals should take a crash course in basic economics before opening their big mouths. They are no better than Mamata and her goons who are out to get their 15 minutes of fame. As someone pointed out in an earlier forum....would they have raised such a stink if 14 policemen had died instead? Finally, to all the anguished NRIs most of whom have done zilch for Bengal, I'd like to ask them what would have happened if an unruly mob of 5000 armed with crude bombs and pipeguns charged the famed NYPD (New York Police Dept)or the LAPD. I suppose the "men in blue" would just turn the other cheek. HYPOCRITES.

Hi I am really unaware of the real facts but I did learn that police opened the fire. But i just want to clarify one thing since ur message appears everywhere and verges so much on economics.Economics deals with growth and efficiency and at th same time on fairness or equity. That's why while the CM's effort at industrialization is laudable, I guess he should have simultaneously thought about how this growth is to be redistributed.Maybe, the people understand best how they r goin to be exploited ( lack of equity) and this led to the protest. the police could have thrown teargas, could have fired in the air.I ask you, if u had been a member of this squad, what would you have done? If u had really fired on someone instead of giving a warning, I am afraid, you should best utilize ur time not illuminating us on economics but taking a lesson or two on human ethics and morality.

If Bengal had to prosper why you people wasted 30 years for that?
