Sour relation!

Perhaps in no other state in India so strained is the relation between ruling party and the main opposition as it’s in West Bengal! Perhaps in no other state ruling party is so despised by the chief opposition! The hatred is to such an awful extent that its supremo is not in speaking terms with the chief minister and skips any all-party meet convened by him on any occasion, however important it may be, almost with religious righteousness. Other members of the party are so strictly instructed that they can’t even share a dais with any member of the ruling party. In case by mistake or perchance such a situation arises, one must immediately make amends, may it appear very odd or indecent.
Such a state of affairs is extremely unfortunate but it’s a reality. It stands in the way of development, whatsoever. Unless opposition helps the govt, state can’t progress. In healthy democratic set-up opposition should embark upon constructive criticism and resist govt from doing anything wrong. It must make people aware of administrative lapses and has dialogue with the govt to sort out those shortcomings.It’s our bad luck the present situation is far from ideal and perhaps it’ll spell doom for the state!
