Once mocked as India’s perennial laggards, four states have scripted remarkable comebacks in the last decade.
Uttar Pradesh
From “mafia raj” to India’s No. 2 economy. GDP doubled in six years (₹12L cr → ₹24L+ cr), ₹40 lakh crore investments, law & order cleaned up, red tape slashed. Result: factories, expressways, and a $1-trillion dream by 2029.
Odisha
From cyclone capital to resilient growth engine. 55% GSDP jump in five years, extreme poverty down from 60% to <10%, mining + green industries + political stability = quiet miracle.
Bihar
From “Jungle Raj” to double-digit growth. GSDP from ₹75k cr (2004) to ₹11L cr (projected 2025-26). Rural consumption now beats Bengal. Roads, electricity, schools, and basic law & order did the magic.
Assam
From insurgency to India’s 3rd-fastest growing state (2024-25). Economy doubled in six years, Advantage Assam 2.0 brought ₹5L+ cr pledges (Tata semi-con, Vedanta oil/gas), peace accords ended decades of violence.
The Common Thread
- Zero tolerance for lawlessness
- Aggressive investor summits & single-window clearance
- Massive infra push (roads, power, airports)
- Political will to bury old ideologies
Bengal was once India’s richest state. Today it ranks 6th and is being overtaken by rural Bihar in consumption. Political violence, union militancy, and red-tapism still scare capital away.
The message from UP, Odisha, Bihar, and Assam is brutal but clear:
No state is doomed forever — but no state recovers without ruthless focus on law & order and ease of doing business.
The East is rising. Will Bengal join the party or keep watching from the sidelines?
The clock is ticking.
People of Bengal... will you be happy just working in Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and many other places - or do you want to remain in Bengal and join the bandwagon of development?
Remember... you were once at the centre stage of Bharat... people from all over Bharat used to flock here for their livelihood.
Wake up... and reclaim your lost glory.
Choose your leaders wisely.
