    It is a shame that Bengal's state ministers intentionally ignored Mahatma Gandhi's death anniversary, instead were coerced to go to a Trimamool Rally, which signified nothing,except traffic jams & inconvenience to the public.
    Despite court orders to ban rallies the ruling govt flouts it whenever it chooses & blames others when they bring out rallies.As it is Bengal is an economic & social mess with these Bengalis blowing their own trumpets.
    It's time they shed their Bengali non Bengali chauvinism & embrace Nationalism .It should be Indian first.
