CPN(Maoist) leadership may seek the expertise of Debabrata Bandyopadhyay, intrepid, honest and capable ex-IAS officer, who was the real man ( not the CPI(M) minister for land reform and polit bureau member, the late Benoy Choudhuri) behind the famed Operation Barga. Now CPI(M) openly talking of reversing OB, Bandyopadhya is a bitter critique of CPI(M)-led Lefr Front government. He was a pick of the late HareKrishna Konar, ex-general secretary of All India Krishak Sabha.
Bandyopadhyay was commissioned by the Government of Bihar for land reform, but the government there was not serious about it.
