Bypoll results show how badly the Left parties have been marginalised

November 25, 2024

All the six candidates fielded by the Left Front in the recently concluded by-elections whose results were announced on Saturday lost their deposits, proving that the people of West Bengal have rejected the Left parties.

Bypoll results show how badly the Left parties have been marginalised

The CPI-M had tried to capitalise on the situation that had cropped up following the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, but its plans have fallen flat. Some people owing allegiance to the party even demanded resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. But it is evident that the people of West Bengal have rejected them.

The pathetic performance of the party is shown starkly when the election results are analysed.

In Sitai, Mr Arun Kumar Barma of Forard Bloc got 3317 votes and only two votes among the postal ballots taking the total to 3319. He lost his deposit.
