4 states went to poll in India in the last 1 month. These were Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Assam. Out of these, Kerala and Bengal are Communist strongholds.
What strikes me is that inspite of the same political idealogies that rule these 2 states, Kerala has been way to high on the Human Developmeng Index than Bengal. Infact Kerala has been number 1 in India in Human Development Index. Someone might credit this to the High Literacy rate in Kerala, but this is not the cause, this actually a result of a better governance. And certainly Bengal does not lack intellectual capital to consider itself disadvantaged. ...Umm..something to think about.
In a CNN IBN program today, discussing the exit poll results, political analyst Yogendra Yadav commented that states in the South had much better governance than the North..Why is it so..?
One heartening news was that, as per the exit polls, Trinamul Congress will come to power ending 3 decades of Left rule.
I hope the best for West Bengal.
