Kolkata, April 4 He may have been denied a position in the party’s central committee but Transport Minister Subhas Chakraborty is not one to sulk. The CPM leader has “no regrets because I have the people’s support”.

“I don’t know why I have not been inducted. I have been with the party since its inception. On my call, a lakh will congregate. For me, this is a factor of satisfaction. I have an identity and the people are with me. I do not hold a post but I have the command,” Chakraborty, who has just returned from the party congress in Coimbatore, told reporters at the Writers’ Buildings on Friday.

About veteran Jyoti Basu’s exit from the Politburo, Chakraborty said: “Everyone has to go (vacate post) at some point, and Basu is 94 years old now.”
