they do it in very destructive way. unseasoned politics has been coochbehar's woe since a long time. I think we have to learn little a bit from our neighboring districts as well. they are all unanimous in development agendas ...

The CPF will leave the state rendering it totally unprotected in hand of itself after the poll results. Administration though has called for a all party meeting , but don't trust them , they are absolutely fanatic .
