The battle for ballots is getting ugly and tense. Mamata Banerjee blames all dissidents, BJP, Congress rebels etc. as CPI(M) agents. she rightly gets the retort that she was a minister in BJP led NDA government and is still in touch with that party.

According To Mamata Banerjee, Congress will win only because of her. Thus she has all contempt for Congress that has no strength of own.

Mamata Banerjee obviously prefers straight contest with left. Contests by any other party and independents means splitting of votes. Even BJP, the national level party is dubbed as CP(I)M agent, just a vote splitter. This is indeed a wonderful plea. How can BJP a nation level party and main opposition in center be dubbed as agent of a small outfit like CPI(M)> Is this not funny.

Rebels are the excitement of polls.Congress is the party which suffers it most.Mamatha , an early congress will have to face it from real congress minds.

One need not be member of C.P.I.(M) to be a Marxist. som Nath Chatterjee was expelled from CPI(M). Ideologically, he is still a Marxist. He will campaign for the party.

Left Front has not appreciated foul language used by a CPI(M) M.P. against Mamata Banerjee. This is indeed exemplaty conduct. Other parties like Congress, Trinmool etc. use intemperate and abusive language during poll campaign routinely. Bhattacharya pointed out that some slanderous and false remarks were made by opposition about his daughter as well.

What sees in Bengal is that Left and Trinamool are claiming majority to confuse the voters of next phase.

What sees in Bengal is that Left and Trinamool are claiming majority to confuse the voters of next phase.

Trinmool Congress and Congress have not been able to maintain unity. The area of North Bengal, where polling concluded had many congress rebels, BJP candidates and seperatists of Gorkha League movement. Here Congree TMC may not get the sort of success that was being proclaimed so far. The Left is down but not vanished. Now the media is also subdued. The fact of paid news in favor of congress TMC alliance is also revealed. In these circumstances, outcome of results is indefinite.

Not only in West Bengal but everywhere, all parties claim success before actual results.

Trinamool is the party of congress expelled.Then how can they unite?
