Kolkata While many had to trudge kilometres to reach their destinations during the CITU-backed bandh today, top CPM leaders faced no problems driving down to the party headquarters at Alimuddin Street to attend the state committee meeting called to discuss the fallout of the party’s poor performance in the recent civic polls.

About 80-odd state committee members arrived at the party office by 10 am in their personal cars. Among them were CITU leaders Shyamal Chakraborty and Kali Ghosh, who even congratulated the transport workers for observing the strike.

“We will go for further agitation nationwide,” said Ghosh, who is CITU’s state secretary, while declining to comment on how his party leaders managed to drive for the meeting.

Dipak Sarkar, CPM’s West Midnapore district Committee secretary, who drove 120 km to attend the meeting in Kolkata, too dodged the question, saying this was not an issue to be discussed.
