Remember Mr Chakravarty is not a man to be ignored. He is the Right Hand Man of Mr. Jyoti Basu. While everyone of us enjoy his various gimmick that brings him to the limelight, he does not do this without weighing the options. By suddenly adopting a stance that appears as if he will go against either his own party the CPI(Marxist) or his own Chief Minister, he actually tries to defuse the tension within and outside the party on a highly debatable issue. Say in the last election to the Cricket Association of Bengal, when Buddhadeb Bhattacharya the West Bengal CM was supporting Prasun Mukherjee, Mr. Chakravarty opposed the move and openly supported Dalmiya. So supporters of Dalmiya lowered down their guard, hoping Chakravarty's supporters will vote for Dalmiya. But in the last moment citing party discipline Chakravarty showed how much he is committed to his party and so Dalmiya lost. Here also the same tactics is being repeated. What Mr. Jyoti Basu cannot say openly, he tells it through Mr. Chakravarty, taking the blame for being just a Maverick, much like Laluji does sometimes. Man, don't believe the politician. The game of politics is to deceive others without the players (the politicians) being deceived themselves. This is only a caveat for the common man. Actually Mr. Chakravarty does the dirty work for his party. CPI(M) shows they are with the common man, but when it comes to drive away Hawkers, the old General was entrusted to carry out Operation Shinning.

West Bengal has become self sufficient in agriculture. Even when Karnataka, Tamil Nadu in need of power, West Bengal provided it. Decentralisation of power has not happened in any other state like West Bengal. 50 percent of the revenue has been given to the local panchayats...
