PC’s Bengal remark is absurd: CPM
The CPI(M) on Tuesday lashed out against home minister P. Chidambaram for terming West Bengal as one of the worst governed states in the country during his election campaign in the state. “This is a ludicrous statement coming from a person who belongs to a government which is presiding over the most corrupt regime in
independent India. Mercifully, West Bengal has been saved from the style of governance that Chidambaram’s party has been practising at the Centre,” the CPI(M) politburo said in a statement here. CPI(M) politburo member Sitaram Yechury demanded Mr Chidambaram’s resignation.
He said that the home minister has failed to tackle the Gorkhaland and Telangana issues and should resign .
Meanwhile, the CPI(M) said that the “absurdity’’ of the Mr Chidambaram’s statement on West Bengal can be gauged from the fact that on the very day when Chidambaram made the statement, the Left Front ruled state was given an award for panchayati raj programme rural development by the Central government.
