Bengal Governor signs out, warning politicians

West Bengal Governor Gopal Krishna Gandhi ended his controversial five-year tenure on Sunday, requesting political parties and Maoists to revive the state from the "debris" of violence. "Unless all inter-party, inter-cadre or inter-supporter violence is halted, West Bengal will suffer irretrievable damage. All political organizations must together bring West Bengal out of the debris of 'bhangchur' (damaging property), bandhs and 'bomabaji' (bombings)," said Gandhi in his farewell message.
