"SOCIALISM NOT POSSIBLE NOW": JYOTI BASU

The grand old man of Bengal Politics who is protected in a fort in Salt Lake surrounded by Indo Tibetan Boarder guards now admits after 50 years “Socialism is not possible now”
Portia in “Merchants of Venice” tells us the virtues of forgiveness.
In our school prayers we used to beseech God “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us”
But will the people of Bengal forgive him for the blunders he has committed in his 30 years rule in Bengal.
Industries have left Bengal in hordes. It is impossible to give a figure to the numbers.
Millions have been left jobless.
Education system has been so shattered that people passing from Bengal do not find jobs outside the state.
Now he coolly says socialism is not possible after his family members and cronies have amassed wealth in crores through nepotism and favoritism
Will the People of Bengal forgive him?
I leave it to you to answer that one.
