It is either the Left or death for West Bengal: Buddha

Kolkata, November 30: Claiming there was no alternative to the Left Front in West Bengal, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today said the state would not survive without the alliance.

“There is no alternative to the Left in West Bengal. If the Left goes, the state would not survive. It is either the Left or death,” Bhattacharjee said at a rally here.

Reactionary forces, communal forces and some foreign forces did not want the Leftists to remain in power in the state, he said.

“What will be the future of the state if the Left goes? In West Bengal, the Left stands for the peasants’ movement, the workers’ movement and the movement of the poor.
