This is due to the "service" mentality of Bengalis. Today, most of the capital is in the hands of non-bengalis. Lack of "entrepreneur" mentality among Bengalis make Kolkata poor. Although, we achieved freedom more than 75 years ago, but we are still hostile against Central government, capital and capitalism, landlords, entrepreneurs, industries & industrialists. This happens mostly due to the people of Bangladesh.

Infrastructure of Kolkata is improving a lot currently with metro connectivity and better roads and flyovers, but that doesn't mean that roads and flyovers are good all over the city, even few years back waterlogging during rainy season was a problem in my area, but now it's been solved, still illegal construction and unaccounted hawkers all over the city are a major problem, recently many IT companies have come to Kolkata but what Bengal needs mainly right now is heavy industry

[@sintancos3196]

Some positive points about Kolkata that everyone is missing and must be heard: *In Q1 2023, office space consumption is all time high in Kolkata *Kolkata is NOW warehouse capital of India with Dankuni it's major *Kolkata metropolitan is 3rd biggest in India and 16th biggest metropolis in the world (only after delhi and bombay) *Sector V salt lake has around 20 million sq ft of office space and it space making it largest it hub of east India. *Around 7 data centres are under construction. Kolkata is projected to take 20% of data centre share in India. *Fintech hub is comming as the international financial hub of the east with NIC,Bandhan Bank, SBI, UCO Bank etc having their hqs and regional hqs in the region. There are more developments but no one talks about them. Orisaa was poor state and everyone keeps calling it poor and suddenly they open their eyes and see orissa is not poor anymore. Same will happen with Kolkata. Kolkata can not be poor or failed due to location and importance. Every city has it's black days and it is now comming back.
