By the way, the lesson from Tripura is hugely relevant for Kerala, which today is the last bastion of the communist parties. The point is, in Kerala too, successive communist governments have largely acquitted themselves well in governance. But they have been found wanting in coming up with projects that create jobs in large numbers. The tendency is to take the easy road of egalitarian policies, which is possible only thanks to the money that is pouring in through remittances by expatriate Malayalis. This is not sustainable.
