Jyoti Basu strangled Dhandhos and then allowed his Son, Chandan Basu, to thrive via ownership of Eastern Biscuit and Bengal Lamp factory
Basu pressured Bengal govt dept to purchase lamps only from "Bengal Lamps", his Son's company
Trade Unions were notorious for shutting down Chandan Basu's competing businesses
All Commies are clown of highest order
Royally messed up a beautiful state
@TravelerPrash @SouthEastBlr The railways is showing laxity when proposed. State government always had to beg central government reg suburban rail to share their infrastructure with the state. So state government has decided to ahead with metro. Not the best solution but the only remaining remedy for KA.
@PriyankKharge "whether any movement or activity falls within the scope of sub-rule (2), the decision of the Government thereon shall be FINAL." Ee tara arbitrary decisions takotira anta ne KAT maaDirodu. His suspension will be revoked soon by KAT 🔥🔥
SM Krishna envisioned Bengaluru as a Singapore-like city, a perfect model.
But dehats laughed & ousted him after one term.
If SMK had more terms, Karnataka's growth could have been remarkable, unlike under later socialist CMs.
When the PLI for mobile manufacturing was launched, critics called it “screwdriver-giri.” Yet the ecosystem has grown 150x from 2 to 300 units powering ₹1.27L cr in exports.
With scale achieved, the next push is for domestic production of electronic components.
Ironically Basavanna himself would oppose naming the metro after him by replacing the word “Namma” - which is the most inclusive term and an appropriate fit to describe the Basava Tattva.
Ofc the people who use his name for mere tokenism wouldn’t know his ideals.
