Prodyot Kumar Basu It is true that the 'communists' and their remaining
embodiment in the, so called, left front of West Bengal comprising of the
gang of CPM, CPI, RSP, FB, etc., have been working hard for the last 30
years or so to destroy everything good about West Bengal, almost, turning
the state into a laughing stock in the eyes of rest of the country,
competing with states like Bihar. This left front worked tirelessly to
promote ignorance, illiteracy, dishonesty, utter mediocrity, indiscipline,
irresponsibility, gross violation of the rule of law, and above all
political cronyism in everything they did. Almost all the government
officers have been and still are their political cronies. To add to their
support base, it appears that they turned blind eyes to hundreds and
thousands of illegal immigration from across the eastern borders, illegally
helping them to acquire legal status. In short, the left front has been
enemy number one of the people of West Bengal. I hope that the people of the
state has realized that it is not too late to get rid of this left front
menace and try to restore the old glories that West Bengal was on many
fronts and to enhance it on other fronts. What West Bengal needs is a
visionary leadership with a clear sense of purpose and ability to create the
right strategic plan for the state and implement it successfully. This will
require highly qualified specialists (from within India and abroad) in
different areas, with no party affiliation, to advise the ruling party
leadership to achieve real success in these efforts. But the question
remains, is Miss Mamta Banerjee, who often appears to be incoherent,
confused, rudderless, and unpredictable along with her equally incompetent
and unruly followers under the banner of Trinamul Congress is the answer.
Without Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, who unfortunately is quite old; Congress Party
is in the same situation as Miss Mamata Banerjee's Party. It is high time
for her to change her ways and start acting like a visionary states person
who can do sustainable good to the state and the country, helping establish
the rule of law, and creating the right atmosphere for both economic and
intellectual prosperity. I wish that at this important juncture in the life
of the state of West Bengal, the people of the state make the right decision
for a future that will be much brighter than the present.
