New Delhi, June 19 (TIWN): Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen repeatedly said that for the development of the country, primary necessity is primary health and education services. If health is not given importance then a country or a nation cannot prosper. The backbone of a country is the development of these two.

The reason being his anger with demonetisation which not only hit his business, but also led to his son, employed with a local shopkeeper, losing his job. Later, his son found a contractual state government job without the provisions for pension or pay scale.   Although he isn’t sure how Banerjee can help spur economic development in the state or the country, he wants to see Prime Minister Narendra Modi ousted. But why Banerjee? He hasn’t seen any other leader so fierce in their approach or with oratory skills like her.  While selling slices of cucumber to Jyotsna Noor, a homemaker, who came to attend the rally, he said, “I see Modi coming to West Bengal at the time of elections. The rest of the year, I don’t see him”.  Noor nods in agreement. She praises Banerjee for launching schemes like Swasthya Sathi, Kanyashree and others. Her farmer husband is insured by the state for crop loss.
