Political Ill-health

Given the typical irresponsibility shown by elected people's representatives, even gastroenteritis can assume serious proportions in West Bengal. Exemplary punishment is perhaps the only medicine to break the hibernation of erring representatives, who always seem to be treading through a Utopian ambience under the spell of the security that corrupt politics tend to provide to those at the helm of matters. It is shocking and at the same time, shameful on the part of such elected leaders, that their unwillingness to act properly and promptly has endangered the lives of so many at Garulia and Siliguri. The lack of organised protest from the thus far patient sufferers is furthering the spread of such passive crimes. Deep-seated and rampant political corruption have drugged the political leaders and numbed the citizens at large.
