I am watching a news on TV since last two days that in some districts of West Bengal people have started to loot the godowns of PDS grain holders. All these people seems to be the general pubic.
I was trying to understand the reasons prompting the people to take such horrible steps despite the presence of police behind them and legal punishment. One quick to understand reason may the extreme poverty but that is there in many states of India. Still people stay calm and try to manage food with some other resources..
In my opinion instead of extreme poverty, extremely high level of corruption is responsible for such kind of public anger. People keep on watching the PDS agent selling the food in open market in collusion with the local administration and local politicians. Some day people’s patience breaks down and that compels them to take such steps.
For me, the reason to post this item on net is that this is happening in the state where communism has got the deepest roots. Our communists leaders keep on talking about the common man in Delhi and at all other platforms. The same common man is starving in their home state where people have expressed their faith in them since many years.
How much time do our communists leaders need to root out hunger from the state. They are the longest serving democratic government on this earth. What hell these communists leaders are doing there in West Bengal since last 30 years. IF some of my communist friends is reading this post, can he please tell me some rationale to vote these leaders again and again.
It is the right time for Bengal people to look for a change in the forthcoming parliament elections. Bengal was the leading state especially Kolkata when the Britishers left India and today same rotton building of old times. Even our new leaders could not maintain these buildings forget about the addition of new infrastructure.
