MUSLIM VOTERS HAVE REALISED THAT THEIR SITUATION IS WORST THAN MUSLIMS OF ANY OTHER STATE IN INDIA, AND LEFT PARTIES ARE JUST USING THEM TO COME TO POLLS.WEST BENGAL NEEDS SERIOUS ” CHANGE” AS ALREADY ITS TOO LATE.

The Left is losing its credibility and becoming like a power broker.Hopefully, Karat should not get sizeable votes in the ensuing general elections so that he will not take anything as a personal prestige!!!

Kindly do not attempt to inject conclusions that would communalize the secular politics of West Bengal. The economic policies of the Left in West Bengal have affected the lower working class from every religious section and the protests have cut across religious divisions.Most of the popular perceptions about communal politics emerge from media reports rather than party politics. I hope that as elections approach the media will be more responsible and not ‘create’ news for the sake of filling its 24×7 slots.

The Communists in Kerala too seem to be in a mood to bend over backwards to accommodate new found allies. the LDF reaching out to people like PDP’s firebrand leader Mahdani and Raman Pillai (ex-BJP) should have EMS and AKG turning in their graves.
