Thanks to Dr.Amartya Sen, in an interview with a private TV channel he spoke his mind freely about what’s going wrong with our state. He didn’t mince words in criticizing both ruling party and the main opposition for whose lapses the state is badly suffering. Their strained relation and lack of coordination stand in the way of state’s progress. To start with Chief minister made genuine move for industrialization but made some mistakes. As these mistakes were left unaddressed, they snowballed into major problem. Before Lok Sabha poll, proud of brute majority ruling party ignored opposition and hardly cared to have a dialogue with them in policy matter. So it created chasm between them. Scenario changed when after reverses in Lok Sabha election LF reduced to minority party. Now the chief opposition refuse to go in for dialogue with the ruling party.
Regarding the wind of change supposed to be blowing in the state, Dr.Sen said it would bring no real change if it’s only confined to change of power, opposition replacing the ruling party. There must be change in the anarchic situation now prevailing. Developmental work is not possible in such a messy situation where politics of violence and vendetta are order of the day. He’s also of the opinion unless opposition work in tandem with the ruling party, a state can’t progress. Regarding Lalgarh movement Dr. Sen says in general political parties and ‘social bandits’ play with the issue of non-development as if it’s a ‘Political Football’. If ruling party is responsible for non-development at Lalgarh for a long time, opposition is held no less responsible as they did not point out this lapse to the govt in time. Dr.Sen does not feel optimistic about future of Bengal unless people here take a strongly positive attitude in favour of industrialization.
Unlike any other state of our country and any places of the world, there has not been any such determined all out vengeance against the interest of the people. Wrong and paranoid steps of the state government created this mess in the pursuit of industrialisation, but the detrimental actions of the tmc has tatally paralysed the scenario altogether.Unreasonable and by all sensible mode of reasoning the actions and demands of the tmc created a vicious atmosphere in the state resulting in fear phsycosis amongst the potential entrepreneurs. The bleak future of our state and the army of unemployed are extremely painful.But those people drunk with the venom of hatred and having sole objective to reach the Writer's Buildings in no time, care less for the benefit of the people at all. In this gloomy scenario, hope and determination is the only guide to a new dawn. The morning shown by the TMC in two districts where they captured the Zilla Parishads are eye openers. If this sort of wanton plunder and loot of public money could take place within such a short period what will then await us in the foreseeable future when the TMC is up for capture of power? But I beliweve in the power of the people who would ultimately rise to the occasion and defeat all evil forces assembled against the interest of the state and the toiling masses in particular.
