The communists West Bengal face the common people for the first time – Buddha the butcher of Bengal heckled and jeered, (CPI-M) legislator smeared with mud
Enough is enough, says West Bengal residents. After a forty years of uninterrupted communist rule, CPI(M), the Marxists in West Bengal face the common people of the state for the first time.
The communists are the most unpopular specis in the state. West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee was heckled and jeered by the disgruntled survivors of Cyclone Aila when he visited a relief camp in Sunderbans, while a ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) legislator was smeared with mud.
Villagers at a relief camp, sufferers of the devastating cyclone caused death and destruction last month, asked the chief minister why the state government had failed to build concrete embankments in Sundarbans despite being in power for more than past three decades.
Buddha kept quite. His followers wept in sympathy. At the end the CPI(M) was insulted like never before by the common people.
A section of villagers in Hingalganj also heckled Gopal Gayen, a CPI-M legislator, when he arrived to monitor the post-Aila situation of his constituency. They forced Gayen to wade through floodwater and also smeared his face with mud.
