They are two sides of the same coin. One of the founders of our party, Muzaffar Ahmed, persuaded Jyoti babu to become party secretary in 1957 when he was already the Leader of Opposition.Everyone agrees that the name of the person who has accomplished the virtually impossible feat of forging an electoral tie-up between the Congress and the Left is Surjya Kanta Mishra. Attack on their basic rights, attack on communal harmony and attack on their livelihood.
(Photo: Abhijit Mukherjee) Surjya Kanta Mishra was elected Communist Party of India (Marxist) state secretary in March 2015 when, after suffering back-to-back electoral debacles, the party was in total disarray in West Bengal and its cadres demoralised. Everyone was oppressed. We want the independent identity of respective allies to remain intact. He has also been the chief architect of the Left Front-Congress alliance which was considered an impossibility a few months ago. Then over 100 parties and organisations outside the Left Front launched an effective and powerful mass movement under the umbrella of Bengal Platform of Mass Organisations (BPMO) reaching villages which were inaccessible to us for over five years. He contested Assembly elections in 1957 and 1960.e. He even accused her of doing politics over the dead Lycra Fabric victims of the flyover crash by immediately blaming the Left for the tragedy.
That practice should not be followed in a parliamentary democracy. Students, women — everyone was oppressed. What is the Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate, Securities and Exchange Board of India and other Central agencies doing  A natak is going on because the BJP does not want Ms Banerjee to lose this election. People have come to understand that it is possible to get rid of Mamata Banerjee’s government.I know the CPI(M) and Left Front have not projected you as their chief ministerial candidate, but even your detractors agree that your political acumen, stature and popularity make you perfectly suited for the big responsibility.Will the Congress and Left parties be able to transfer their votes to each other  And aren’t you worried about friendly fights in nearly 10 Assembly seats I have been asking people to dismantle all barriers and demolish all walls.
This created confidence among the people.The coming together of eternal adversaries Congress and the CPI(M) and all anti-Trinamul Congress (TMC) secular, democratic forces on one platform is certainly an incredible and unprecedented political development in the state. Six months ago, they could not believe it. I have not witnessed this kind of upsurge in the last 10 years.The secular fabric in the state faces an unprecedented threat and efforts towards communal polarisation by the BJP-TMC nexus have to be thwarted. I have given a clear message to all the partners of the People’s Alliance (Manusher Jot) against the ruling TMC that even two days before the election they should rally around the candidate who is in the best position to defeat a TMC candidate.
