The people of West Bengal in general and Nandigram in particular dared to protest this time in a bold manner against the repression of CPM. BB, being a brahmin is unfit to lead the Kaystha dominated CPM. The CPM cadre, predominantly non-brahmins, was never comfortable to have BB as Chief Minister. On slightest pretext, they exceeded their brief and unleashed a reign of terror in the name of BB's development program, to get rid of him. The sufering and misery of people in west bengal is a direct consequence of caste-based rivalries between kaystha and brahmins in West Bengal. Sooner they elect an obc as chief minister, better will be their future.

Most of the CPM leaders (or their forefathers) migrated from East Bengal (now Bangladesh). So naturally a lot of them seem to have a soft corner for Bangladesh. This is also another reason for their anti-national behavior.

I am not from WB so I am not sure if you are speculating. But your thought process looks to be very narrow.
