Look who is batting for Trinamool in West Bengal !

Look what he says, and can we not conclude that the Marxist leader is admitting that in West Bengal, onetime the red bastion, the real battle is between the Trinamool Congress of Mamata Banerjee and the BJP !! 

 CPI (M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury  says:“The anti-incumbency against the TMC government is feeding the BJP". 

He also urged the Election Commission to explain the reason(s) for announcing the eight-phase polling in West Bengal. 

The poll schedules announced on Feb 26 say Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Pudducherry will wrap up the entire voting process in a single day. Of course, the BJP-ruled Assam will also have three phases.

"Modinomics: More destruction of the economy. Greater miseries for people. Defeat BJP in forthcoming assembly elections," Yechury tweeted. 

“These elections are going to be crucial. The overall objective today is to keep BJP at bay, which is making all unscrupulous attempts in order to capture power in these states. In Bengal, the basic alternative that is emerging, on the strength of the people’s struggles in the past few months, braving the repression of TMC government is the secular democratic alliance of Left-Congress,” he said.

The Marxist leader exuded confidence that his party-led LDF will return to power in Kerala.

Meanwhile, CPI (ML) General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya in a tweet said, “Five-day test match in Chennai becomes a two-day affair in Ahmedabad. One-day election in Tamil Nadu gets stretched over eight phases in West Bengal. Can any of you explain this numbers game?” 

Legislative Assembly elections for 294 seats of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly are scheduled to be held between 23 March to 29 April 2021 in 8 phases.

Ruling BJP’s estranged ally Bodoland People's Front (BPF) has decided to contest all the 12 seats in the Bodoland area in Assam in the upcoming assembly election.
