Elections will end LF govt’s misrule in Bengal: Mamata

Islampur (WB) April 14: Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today exuded confidence that the coming election would “create history ending the 35-year-old Left Front government’s misrule” as the Marxists would not be able cling to power by dividing Opposition votes.

Banerjee launched a stinging attack on BJP, whom she described as the “big friend of the CPI(M)in West Bengal”.

She also came heavily down on Independent candidates fielded by dissident Congress leaders terming them as “agents of CPI(M)”.

“History would be created in Bengal. The CPI(M) would be out of power after 35 years,” said Banerjee at an election meeting at this Muslim dominated Islampur constituency in the North Dinajpur district bordering Bangladesh on the last leg of her five-day whirlwind tour of North Bengal where polling would be held in the first phase on April 18 for 54 seats.

“The CPI(M) and BJP are two brothers in Bengal.
