Left countdown has begun in Bengal

The results of the latest municipal election in extensive areas of Bengal proved that the Left sway on the state is gradually declining. The way in which four of the 13 Bengal towns where civic polls were held slipped out of the Left Front’s dominance proved that history is repeating itself after a gap of three decades. If we remember, in the same way the, once omnipotent, Congress party in the state got fragmentized. But of all these the condition of the Marxist boss, CPM, is most pathetic since the three of the four municipalities where Left lost were under CPM.
