Kolkata, Aug 2 - The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)'s central leadership Sunday advised West Bengal's ruling Left Front government to bring about transparency in all levels of the administrative system in the state. It also said the government should focus on pro-people issues and address the problems of common people.

A press release issued by the CPI-M state committee said the government had achieved a lot in the state in terms of socio-economic development but that does not mean it would ignore its shortcomings.

'We must focus on sectors like agricultural, farmers loan schemes, animal husbandry, irrigation and setting cooperative societies in the coming years. We must ensure that poor farmers get easy agricultural loans without any hassles,' it said.

These decisions were taken in a two-day state committee meeting here that was attended by CPI-M's central leadership like party's general secretary Prakash Karat and politburo member Sitaram Yechury.
