The
Left Front has suffered a big jolt in panchayat elections
in West Bengal. CPM's defeat in Nandigram and Singur at the
hands of Trinamool Congress has proved that the people will
not tolerate oppressive policies. Trinamool Congress has won
all the four seats of district council of Nandigram. The party
has also occupied the three seats of Singur in Hoogli district.
Earlier, these seats were under CPM. Nandigram comes under
Madinipur district. Though CPM had spent a lot of money in
campaigning and used all the methods to win the election but
all went in vain. It is said the CPM adopted non-democratic
methods to win the elections but the electorate knew it well
and rejected them outright. Base of Naxalism, Maoism and Communism
is terror. Whether it is Russia or China or West Bengal the
way of their policies is the same. On the issue of Special
Economic Zone, the common people of Nandigram and Singur went
through a difficult period. There is difference in saying
and doing of CPM and other Left parties. The public of Nandigram
and Singur has exposed their truth. The Leftists who represent
the have nots first fulfill their desires. They don't care
about the country's and society interest. Several examples
including nuclear deal are in front of the public. Even the
marginal farmers were not spared in Nandigram and Singur.
The real face of Marxism has now emerged before the public
which raises a question on the credibility of the party. They
can become hurdles in the progress of the country. The public
of Nandigram and Singur have given a befitting reply to them.
Leftists suffered defeat in Hugli, Madinipur, Murshidabad,
South 24 Pargana and North Dinazpur. The CPM needs to learn
lessons from Nandigram and Singur defeats.
