In post poll muscle flexing, CPI(M) cadres 'reclaim' over 150 party offices in West Bengal

India TV News  

The CPI has in the last four days reopened more than 150 of its offices in West Bengal which, it alleged, had been taken over forcibly by the ruling Trinamool Congress after the Left was ousted from power in the state in 2011. A senior CPI Politburo member said that the party was reclaiming its offices because it was the first time since 2011 that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's TMC was "weak and vulnerable". In 2011, following the loss of the Left Front in Assembly elections, its party offices were allegedly occupied by Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress whose activists replaced the hammer and sickle symbol with the TMC's twin flowers. BJP's Howrah Town district President Surajit Saha told PTI that there was no instruction from the party to help the CPI reclaim their offices but conceded that TMC offices were being taken over by rival parties. These things happens post poll," said Saha when asked if the BJP cadres were helping the CPI to "reclaim" their party offices.
