Left Front is gone ...By: Manoj | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 14:49:51 PM Reply | Forward The Left Front has to sit in the opposition, come 2011. The vote is not for Mamata but against Left Front. " We want money without doing any work" is an average Bengali motto. So, we want all government and PSU offices to open up there. Other states can take Nano or whatever.

defeatBy: yohan | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 13:51:12 PM Reply | Forward if an assembly by poll defeat is a reason for a govt to resign, then not only west bengal, but madhya pradesh, gujarat, kerala, tamil nadu, orissa, himachal pradesh, and other govts where the incumbent govt was defeated, should resign. this includes many congress govts also. this defeat is a temporary phase as people are likely to get carried away. was it not the cpm that thrown away the congress govt, was it not lalu that thrown away congress in bihar, was it not telegu desam that thrown away congress in andhra, every 5 years, the ldf throws away udf and vice versa. change is always good. despite the parties changing every 5 years, there is no improvement in an ordinary man's life. now per a bbc report, 48% of the people are under nourished, where as the number of crorepathi is going upto 40%. what a decadence of the ruling parties.

LF Must QuitBy: varind | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 13:00:11 PM Reply | Forward Whether Left front government in Bengal quits or not, they will not find anything left for them. Their autrocities on poor Nandi Gram people and unprincipled support to Congress led UPA for more than 4 years have ruined them and they deserve to be punished equivalent to the time they enjoyed power in W.Bengal.

Challanges to face by MamataBy: Mother India | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 12:47:53 PM Reply | Forward Congratulation to DIDI and her supporter: Senoir West-Bengal people has also very clear idea about Congress ruling WB, nature of TMC acitivity, Maioist-agitation etc, young people will be horrified if they listen the history/ facts from their grand father-mother, parents and senior member of their family, may be young West-Bengal people has seen only CPM ruling the state, obviously they will have something to say against Goverment but they still do not have experience to see congress and TMC rulling WB. I can predict that you will see horrified WB again. You may need to know that during CPM government in WB, starting from poor labour,farmer, school teacher, lower caste people had received many advantages and rights, still in WB cost of food is cheaf than any other place in India, young people has seen that how Mamata and TMC also against industralization, WB also has some unique problems like population, pleople coming from Bangaladesh, etc. If Mamata come to power in WB,its a huge cha

No more options.By: CK Raju Thrissur | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 12:13:56 PM Reply | Forward Buddha should move out. It would even be better if Forward Block is asked to lead Left Front in view of the strong resentment against CPM. The worst thing Basu did was to install Buddha as his successor. Basu should have been dead sure that this man would ruin left front. That would make him a record holder for years ahead! CPM should concentrate the next five years on organisational issues, remain out of power, and revamp its leadership. All other options are suicidal.

lf govt. must quit.By: PRADIP BISWAS | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 10:58:37 AM Reply | Forward those LF constituencies today asking LF to quit what they were doing last 30 years? rats are deserting sinking ship!! communists specially the CPM never accept the defeat spotingly, they will strike back the voter blaming for their own defeat. one more thing left front came into power through back door, janata govt of 1977 imposed president's rul and deposed then s.s.roy's govt and during election used gandhibadi leader mr.p.c.sen's(ex-c,)image to win congress supporters' vote then after wining the election first thing they did publicly humiliate mr.p.c.sen and made sure he wud not participate again into political activities. laterdays if any of their own people raise question against left's policies he was publicly humiliated and was dumped, even chif minister mr. nripen chakraborty meted the same fate. the bottom line is CPM has not drawn the last line they will play their dubious game as long they can do. don't put your money hoping they are going to quit.

Beware of these rejects!By: Rajib | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 10:37:25 AM Reply | Forward Mamata should be extremely careful about these smaller left parties who are only interested to somehow remain in power. Now as the so called left front is about to be removed from power, these people will look to change side and somehow climb the TC-Congress bus to retain there power ambitions.

Presented Valuables!By: George P. Joseph | Thursday , 12 Nov '09 10:22:57 AM Reply | Forward An attempt of self-destruction. Wise men from the west presented valuables to infant CPM. An intelligent Advisor who is the most loggerhead in the world.
