Treading Backwards...?

Looks like whatever effort the stalwart CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharya painstakingly put over last 7 or 8 years to put back the "renaissance" city (always my weakness) and the state back into the world map...is going down the drain too fast.

First Tata, then Infosys...now Satyam and DLF too? If trend continues Rajar-Haat might soon turn into Kangaal-Haat. I dont think we can blame the CM, his policies or his government but it his own party and politburo members who needs to be blamed. After all they are the one who condemned Buddhadeb for speaking against the traditional CPM-Weapon called "Bandh and Gheraos"..Per them even thinking like that is anti-communist. Recently read somewhere that Buddhadeb has done well as Deng Xiaoping with his economist reforms but now he what he needs to do is a "Gorbachev" for a Prestroika to his own party. He is indeed the right man in the wrong party!

..... And then there is another one..a very special and effective one...equally responsible for this backward treading...what can I say better than this "cartoon" which I recently came across.

For the non-bongs:
"You did not marry when it was time for you, didn't start a family, elo-melo'ed your own life, and now elo-melo'ed the country too....my poor baby"
What is elo-melo....Well you dont have to be a Bong to get that!
