FIRE AT BURRA BAZAR
by Venkataramani Subbiah on Jan 14, 2008 01:27 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

My sympathy to the people for Burrabazar. Its really surprising that the leaders of the ruling CPM were holdng a rally of their party causing traffic jams and undue hardships to the suffering people. What happend on the 13th of January at the Maidan is a repeat of "Nero's fiddling when Rome was burning". At least now, let the people of the State wake up to the fact that the CPM and its allies are just not bothered about the welfare of the people. They prefer the people of the state to be economically weak so that by doling our charity they can remain in power and make money for themselves.
The party's only aim is to shamelessly stick to the Congress, once their sworn enemy, since they would never get another oppurtunity to wield so much power in Parliament.
They have made West Bengal, a State of wonderful people, impoverished and destroyed the industrial growth durin the last 50 or so years, by theie useless unions and leaders.

can understand from various posts that most people out here condemning kolkata unnecessarily are politically motivated. ruling party out here extend some crucial support at govt. formation at delhi. these people are concerned about that fact and therefore giving vent to their frustration by scribbling irrelevant and derogatory messages about one of the greatest place on earth (3 nobel prize winners, 1 oscar winner ....). Their comments are not at all out of concern for bengal. as a apolitical person i appeal not to portray bad image of kolkata unnecessarily. if you say kolkata is bad then whole of india is bad

I appreciate your feelings friend. Unfortunately unless the level of education improves amongst the public, nothing can be achieved. That is why all the political parties are working hard to keep the people uneducated.
