Making fun of the West Bengal government's decision to declassify cabinet files from 1938-47,
Opposition Left Front Chairman Biman Bose today said the state government had no work to do other than declassification of files.
"The state government has no work to do, so they are now only declassifying files. There are so many burning issues bothering the masses, but they are not interested in addressing them. They are only interested in declassifying files," Bose said when asked to comment on the state government's decision to make public the cabinet papers for ten years from 1938 to 1947.
The declassification of cabinet files from 1938-47, comes just days after the state government declassified 64 files on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
The Left Front had then supported the state's move to declassify the 64 files on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
