Well if only..poverty would have taken the back seat!!!!
The Lalgarh episode have booked the headlines for quite a period of time; truly thumping a black spot in the history of Bengal. Root cause that lays the foundation stone in this issue is none other than poverty. Anger, disbelief and eventual outbursts are just following the way that has been paved so long by the impoverishment of these Lalgarh dwellers.
The whole drama at Lalgarh is just a sample view of the condition of Bengal ; the fate of poor people of Bengal is doomed under this ruling government and this has been or rather is mounting the building blocks of the agitations that are following up the ladder. Lalgarh finally retaliated after prolonged deprivation and sooner or later , other parts of poverty stricken Bengal may soon follow the same path to claim their own well deserved rights.
Rural development has been simply been a neglected matter in a wider scale. The promises of the ruling government are no where coming close to reality with the assured projects loitering and being unable too see the light of the day. It is learnt that money has been properly sanctioned for rural development and even job creation schemes are scribed in the papers; but problem lies somewhere: lack of initiative in processing the assigned tasks accompanied with misuse of monetary funds.
Trouble of unemployment gets piled up with uneven distribution of growth in rural areas thus leading to non-uniformity in growth rate ; the poor becomes poorer and the rich becomes wealthier is no means of a standard practice in any economy. India faces this as a serious challenge with Bengal towering up in the recent years ; truly a matter to excoriate. It is such an irony to find out well developed party offices in those suburbs!!! It is a clear depiction of the misuse of people’s money in a fallacious manner.
Proper dispersion of water , development of roads, availability of electricity are some of the major issues that should have been properly looked after. The Governemnt knows.But still no action. To reach out to people and increase the literacy rate is still a matter of concern. Here in the city , you have schools lining up side by side , and the Lalgarhs are standing in an abject condition : why does the Government pretend to be so blind?
Whatever the Government of Bengal faced are just the fruits of those corrupted seeds that they had sown for years. The Maoists took the advantage and made good use of the Lalgarh habitants in building up a strong protest against the ruling party. Quite true, as long as you do not hit the ear drum well , the Government would pretend to be deaf as they were. No doubt, the landmines had to burst.
The ruling party’s ascendancy over these years had made them haughty , disdainful thus making them interested to let people dance to their own customized tunes. But with the recent upheaval in Lalgarh and the blow of the reform wave in Bengal, it is surely a blessing in disguise. Personally I have no liking toward the so called opposition which eventually reigned in this election , as their working principles more often seemed awkward to me and of course many ..( BANDHS being one of those many,disgusting!!). But I would be soft and nice if this winning party can bring about changes in the law and order in the state thus making the common man satisfied. But true , this party has shown a high degree of caliber by bringing down the ruling party on the harsh ground and face the retribution for the trenches they have dug in for more than three decades “proudly”.
Lately, the news regarding restoration of law and order in Lalgarh and the adjacent areas are surely bringing back smiles. These steps do show a bright future ahead as they lay foundation for better productive work for the rural people thus enabling in proper and balanced growth in economy. Let small steps be made, no need to make a rash with the ideologies; a steady growth is perhaps ensured from these measures. Truly India should have done away with poverty on a bigger percentage by now, if the right measures were implemented with care without being bothered about own’s satisfaction of avarice.
But better keep the regret by my side. After all.. IT’s BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!!!!
