Trinamool is an anarchy that works: Kabir Suman

”My health is degenerating very fast... Though highly unlikely, but if I contest, I will stress on development and poverty.

”Development doesn't mean you develop rocket science but your people go to sleep with empty stomachs,” says Suman who defeated CPI-M's outgoing MP Sujan Chakraborty in 2009.

He said that in parliament he was “never given a chance to speak, not even once. May be if I was independent, I could have raised a few issues.

”Parliament is not a bad place.... one can do a few things. The Indian government has money. If there is a will, it can be used for development.”

Radically opposed to any form of communal or theocratic politics, Suman says he cannot stand BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
