defeating the Leftist arrogance in Bengal

it is a reflection of lack of social mobility that most leaders in Bengal belong to same strata of society, a severe indictment of elitism in Bengal communism that stalled and failed to perceive or act on the aspirations of common people. The arrogance came into fore in last few years that they treated common people with disdain (kerala communists are more connected, the same reason why communist rarely have foothold in Tamil Nadu though there is a space and need...people don't trust pretentious elite). Though this blogger has apprehensions about the new government in Bengal but will have to say: this is rebirth of Bengal. Time to push out self serving people and bring in (let's say Bihar model) of social responsibility .
