Sweeping Contentions!

It’s difficult to buy the sweeping contention that nothing has been done in 34yrs of the Left rule as often made by some people. Such a statement is more emotional than rational. Development that has been made always leaves much to be done and it’s a common popular contention at all time and at all places. Take the case of health services in the state. Reports published on health by national agency state West Bengal is one of the best performing states so far as the health indicators are concerned. Admittedly, much better health services could have been accorded to people if those connected with health services were more sincere and dedicated to their job. It’s definitely question of work culture that people here fail to do justice to. What’s said about health is also said about other sectors also. Overall picture is not, however, as disappointing as it’s purportedly projected.
It’s no denying the fact that long stay in power breeds corruptions, arrogance and complacency as well. So Left front is no exception in this respect and it’s openly admitted to falling prey to these vices. However, it’s to be seen to what extent it could rectify the party men provided it returns to power. Of course, no harm if TMC comes to power as in democratic set-up it’s a healthy sign that power be swapped periodically. But what’s worrying is TMC is not a well-knit party and it solely depends on one person-Mamata Banerjee. Could she control the party alone when in power? Let us wait and watch.
