Announcing this, party state secretary and Left Front Chairman Biman Bose lambasted the Opposition on Saturday, calling it a “rainbow alliance”. He also announced that Left Front will support A S Malihabadi, the editor of an Urdu daily, for a Rajya Sabha seat. On Friday, WBPCC chief Priyaranjan Dasmunsi had also extended support for Malihabadi.
The CPM state committee held an extended meeting to finalise the party’s strategy for the upcoming panchayat elections. Bose also announced that on April 5, a Left Front co-ordination committee meeting will be held to finalise the poll agenda. Taking a dig at Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee’s pre-poll Progressive Secular Democratic Alliance, Bose said: “Such an alliance will not be good for the state.” He added, “We have decided to support Malihabadi and will ensure that he gets nominated for Rajya Sabha. Our surplus 39 votes will go in his favour.”
