The just concluded election in wesr bengal and the left.

•                  The future of the left in West Bengal.                        It is to be noted that just concluded election has proved to be fatal for the left but not that all future is lost. The left has bagged only 27% votes and it appears to be disappointing . We must note two things first the organizational condition of the left and the T.M.C's ability to create an impression on the masses . The organization of the left during last 10 years of the left rule was based on the opportunity the left could offer to the poor. The left leaders were busy to create own lobby. The left leaders were also busy to give employment to the relatives of the leaders. Even the needy of the party rank and file were deprived. Like all capitalist party they followed the policy of 'carrot and stick.'    Many good honest cadres were forced to leave the party as because they questioned the dubious role of  some cadres. The local committee offices became the centre of power rather than the centre of conducting mass struggles. In fine the party became a seat of opportunism. The leaders lost contact with the people. Educated cadres became less and less. The local leaders could not convince the people about the tyrannical rule of the Mamata brigade. The 
  t.M.C became the centre of corruption , rapes and other anti social activities. The left to reap from the situation. They believed in   the poor arithmetical calculations. They did not plan for the so called jot much earlier. The unplanned jot fell on the face. The left did not consider that dole provided by the ruling party was more that the left. The poor people were easily duped  by tricky Mamata. The poor were not trained politically and so they became easy victims.Now that the opportunists have left the cpm party and joined the  ruling party the left parties have become purged  automatically. So new opportunity has emerged. But the left must not forget the onslaught of the capitalism on the left. The capitalists will not tolerate the left. The young educated people are in a rosy state with the hope to earn a lot. And so they shall be in general with the ruling party and supporters of the capitalist system. Moreover the left leaders at the lower level lack minimum education about communism or Marxism/ So, the recovery is tough.
   The win in Kerela can give some oxygen but that will do alittle.
