Left parties used the platform for controlling power in WB and Kerala rather then for good to public.
Both the states are left behind in Globalisation and reforms and they are untouchable for most of the business houses. These states are having having labour unions but they don't have jobs. So this is the high time the left should think. 1> Are they for people? 2> Will they let industries to be established so that they can make labour union?

Rohit, you have not understood fully.Recently the oldest Communist Leader Jyoti Basu publcly made the following Statement: "West Bengal needs CAPITALISM"! It had taken the Moron 95 years to realise that! But while one can appreciate his belated Honest Statement, it has come atleast 60 Years late! All his followers are so much used to "PAY without WORK" and a cushy life looting the gullible poor people they refuse to follow him and continue in their violent, destructive ways. The only alternative for the Nation is to throw this lot of shit into the Bay of Bengal!

West Bengal is receiving large number of investments, so much so there is not much land left near the big cities. That has caused a lot of problem. You certainly do not know any statistics regarding investments in India.

IF W.bengal is really attracting investments Mr. Bose why it resembles a hellhole from sub-sahara? Every word of what I have written is 100% True. Yes. Buddhadev tries his best to change the mindset, but it is too late. When you have spent 50 years of your life in Hartals,Strikes, Gheraos,Bandhs, etc. it is impossible to think ina constructive manner after you reach OLD Age! better to throw the muck into the dustbin.

Dear Dipak,
I apreciate your statistics, but isn't it late and whhats happening to the new SEZs / Projects of WB? TATA's NANO or DIG of CRPF called on the election day by a Communist MP.
You can remember the Exide, Bata and Shaw Wallace left WB due to same reason.

Hundreds of Industries left W.Bengal during 1965-67 because they could not get any contracts/license/permits/foreign exchange from the Central government unless they move out. That was the level of discrimination against West Bengal since 1950. Refugees from East Pakistan could not get any compensation, they were forced to live in Transit centres for repatriation back to Pakistan according to Nehru-Liakat Ali Pact. Then everything were transfered from West Bengal( State Bank, LIC, General Insurance, Geological survey, Zoological Survey). Weast Bengal was categorised as Developed State so no planned investments came to West Bengal. Durgapur steel was the last as a compensation for the loss of State Bank. Air-India does not touch Calcutta since 1966. Foreign exchange earning, natural resources, and tax revenues of West Bengal and the whole of the Eastern India was used for the development of the Western and Southern states Due to this discrimination West Bengal went down, but after the removal of the license/permit/quota Raj , now all investments are coming back. However, still there are discriminations regarding taxes against industries located there. West Bengal was totally destroyed in 1965-67 because of Morarji Desai, Jagjivan Ram, YB Chavan, SK Patil, Bhutalingam, etc, etc.
