With the onset of the deadline of having polls within a month from now, the different poltical parties are coming up with various manifestoes. Staying in Bengal, it has always been a very charming experience of witnessing one of the most vibrant battles fought between the communists and the non-communists!
In their 30+ years of existence, the Communsit Government has seldom looked towards making the West Bengal Tourism No.1 in India. No other government in the nation's independent existence has been on the seat for so long, which by itself stands in the Limca Book of World Records as the longest running government, since 1970s. The Trinamool Congress, being the "largest" opposition party in the state has brought oput certain points in their manifesto, which may look to be another over ambitious drive and duty but again very true if ever the government had looked into the matter earlier. M/s Banerjee, the supremo of TMC declared to attempting to create Digha into Goa. There is a very practical blockade in such a proposition based on the beach compsotion of the two sites, but yes, Digha could have been lot better if tried for! The drive to convert Dajeelingh and Mirik into Asia's Switzerland is innovative and could have been a sucess had the government not neglected the demands and welfare of the Gorkhas in the Hills. Afterall Darjeeling is called the Queen of Hills. The conversion of Kolkata to London would have been a bizzare idea, but on the whole, TMC gets a 4/5 from me!
The other aspects amongst many in the 46 page long manifesto is to support and organize a full term secular government in the Center. Better healthcare facilities, water and electricity supplies, etc etc... which are some of the most common false words presented by any political parties. Not going by those standards, and taking into account the development of tourism Industry in Bengal alone pays a hepty promise to the masses. After all Kerala, Tamil Nadu and most recently Madhya Pradesh have all been developing on the natural resources and sight seeing, then why not West Bengal which is the only state that fulfills the defination of India as Asamudra-Himachal, which reportedly means a land with Mountains and Seas. West Bengal is the only state in India that has alink with the Great Himalayas and the Bay of Bengal at the two extremes!
Lets see how much this election makes it possible for millions of hearts. But this election is very crucial on a Bengal perspective because it might show a huge impact to the the 30 years of reign of the Communists in Bengal, who supposedly had taken as the second to none poitical parties in the state!
