We, the unfortunate citizens of Kolkata don't understand why Kolkata is the last one in the list of metros in India to begin something that started years ago in other cities. Kolkata is trying hard to come out of years of economic slump. We cannot support the decision of Forward Bloc in this matter. Keep Kolkata out of petty political issues. Let the city develop. Take decision about the rest of Bengal, but don't hinder Kolkata's growth. We don't support any decision that's fatal to Kolkata's economic development irrespective of any political party. Where would the educated Bengalis go if there are no industries? No companies? Should they engage in cultivation? Millions of Kolkatans have fled the city over the last decade. Now, when things are getting right with the efficient chief minister, it's time to get serious about Kolkata's economic development. The educated Kolkatan doesn't support 'bandhs', strikes, processions, road blockage or any political unrest within the city. We all have had enough of all these. The message is clear: Keep Kolkata out of narrow political motives. This message is not only for the ruling party but even for the opposition, which has the tendency to call for strikes every now and then.
