Jyoti Basu success in continuous election is only due to rigging? Or it is also true like Bihar and UP that people verdict are divided. If it is true then we have to think on the socio economic condition of Bengal. The population was fast growing and much hyped jute industry which is out dated now was not able to fetch employment. Repeated famine has caused severe damage to society which the blogger had tried to hide to create an allusion of thinking. The operation Berga has given the mass the assets to live upon and contribute to GDP and discard femine. One can say that he should go forward with all the sector of society judiciously. But what we see in last sixty year of Indian democracy is all the pressure groups had tried to put his agenda ahead of any decision taken by the govt. Jyoti Basu had read the situations and fixed his parties priority which other pressure group did not like. Otherwise he was a great son of India. No doubt about his intention, calibre, and integrity.

Why Jyoti Basu succeeded in coming to the power again and again. Due to rigging? Begali people are spectators only, they can't revolt? The population of Bengal had grown manifold and so called promising jute industry produce has no buyer, and not fetching enough employment. Repeated femine has disturbed the social/economic life of people in general. But, the fact was not accepted by the so called analyst that socio economic scenario is fast changing in bengal and to cope up with begal has to shift its strategies. If the above points are taken into consideration, it is clear that jyoti basu can well be said as great statesman, visionary, and administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13700422968354671582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32951515.post-85261859044343560832016-03-18T10:17:59.691-07:002016-03-18T10:17:59.691-07:00I have never seen in my life appreciating Indira G...I have never seen in my life appreciating Indira Gandhi. But it is true that no leader in centre after independence were close to her. Because she has the grit and determination to lift India from starvation fighting country to self relient India. Jyoti Basu has grit to make people strong and contribute the country. The critics may say that he destroyed the Bengal. But the the person who were benefited from land reforms and panchayati raj will vouch for him. Critics will say it rigging. After all a leader has to work for betterment of mass and certainly not for only industry. Much hyped jute industry is now out dated. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32951515.post-27769911654542866492016-03-13T10:33:06.771-07:002016-03-13T10:33:06.771-07:00Kanchanda, do not shed crocodile tears for Bengal ...Kanchanda, do not shed crocodile tears for Bengal after death of Mr. Basu. Fight the election and industrialise the Bengal. Take care, no repeatation of Singure should occur. We, atleast know that most of the poor Bengali have asset in their hand now. They also have purchasing power, Bengal is better than many state even after dence population, however Bengal is now destroyed by 23 year of misrule by Jyoti Andhkar Basu.Pl. project the both side of the picture and not your hidden agenda. We all very well understand that no one can rule for 23 or more year if not resigned, without the support of people in general in west Bengal after all rigging and cruelty in democrecy.The fact is he was the leader of mass you people are apposing him for the sake of your own interest and not for Bengal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32951515.post-6806333698256855332016-03-12T23:55:46.165-08:002016-03-12T23:55:46.165-08:00Jyoti Bash can not be judged on the basis of indus...Jyoti Bash can not be judged on the basis of industrialisation of the state. He was a common man leader creating assets for common man. Today Bengal is self sufficient in food with the help of contribution from all courts. Bengal has been most populous state. The fact that only industrialisation can not serve the people in large. It needs capital, enterpreuner. He must be judged in that context. It can be said that he had not done what was expected after land reform & Panchati Raj. He neither be compared with laloo Yadav nor be said traitor as industry loving people are saying in their own hurry.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13700422968354671582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32951515.post-15481284719791681832014-08-25T15:20:53.068-07:002014-08-25T15:20:53.068-07:00History of Bengal after independence is divided in...History of Bengal after independence is divided into two periods; period of famine (1947 - 1977) and period of delayed success (1977 - till date). There were peak-famine years in 1959, 1966, and 1974. Famines were mainly due to non-cultivation of land under jotedar ownership. Agriculture is not much profitable for them. After 1977, due to land reform, food production is up and famine problem is solved. There was one potential famine in 1978 (due to big flood), but panchayat and co-ordination committee avoided a famine like situation. So, new period of delayed success started. Haldia is delayed by 12 yrs; Bakreswar by 8 yrs. Singur may come one day after delay like Haldia. Delayed success is better than famine.
