The late Anil Biswas, the CPI(M)’s state secretary and main strategist, had dismissed the talk of a mahajot with a veiled threat. “Let the Congress join a mahajot. We’ll show them what we can do.”
According to these leaders, a mahajot will never be possible in the state as long as the Congress has to depend on the CPI(M) to stay in power in Delhi. They point out that an informal mahajot was formed for the byelections and that the strategy was allowed to work only because a victory or loss would not have heralded a power shift in the state.
