Kolkata Taking a cue from the May 2008 panchayat poll results when the Left Front was battered across the state, the constituents in the ruling Left Front on Wednesday decided that they will contest the same number of seats as they had contested in 2004 Lok Sabha polls.

Left Front chairman and CPM state secretary Biman Bose said that a section of people in Lalgarh were engaged in instigating violence in the name of democratic movements.

“It is fail to understand how these people who have their presence only in Lalgarh had called bandhs in three districts,” Bose said.

Bose also criticised Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee, who on Wednesday rushed to Lalgarh ignoring the bandh called by a section of people in the region.

“I have come to know that the state administration had urged her not to go to the area,” said Bose.
