Siliguri, Apr 10 (ANI): Left Front Chairman Biman Bose on Sunday charged the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Congress of trying to create division among the people in West Bengal.
Bose, who held a campaign rally ahead of the assembly polls here, said the campaigning of his party is going on very good and that they will crush all the other parties.
“The people understand who their real allies are. The campaign is going good and we shall crush the Trinamool Congress, Congress and BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party),” said Bose.
“There are people from different backgrounds, languages, religion and caste in our state. The Congress and the Trinamool Congress are trying to break up this strong fabric and create divisions among the people,” he added.
The Left Front, led by the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), has been in power in the state for more than three decades.
Presently, it is facing a tough challenge from Trinamool Cngress and the Congress, who have stepped up pressure by raising simmering issues such as Maoist insurgency, corruption, and unemployment, ahead of the polls.
West Bengal will have elections in six phases. The first phase of voting will take place on April 18, second phase on April 23, third phase on April 27, fourth phase on May 3, fifth phase on May 7 and sixth phase on May 10.
The total number of assembly constituencies in West Bengal is 294, of which 68 are reserved for the Scheduled Castes and 16 for the Scheduled Tribes. (ANI)
