What Dinesh Trivedi has said is essentially correct to the letter . The CPI (M) have been winning elections and ruling West Bengal by means of organised political terror. The last free and fair election in West Bengal was held in july 1977 when they tasted power for the first time . But the CPI (M) has been steeply declining as they have almost totally alienated people of all sections . If the opposition in West Bengal build a common anti-left platform CPI (M) will horribly lose election even without president's rule . For all their bluster and rhetoric it must be remembered that CPI (M) could win 235 seats in West Bengal last time simply because of the split in anti-left vote between Congress and Trinamool . Even if a plain addition is done between Congress and Trinamool votes CPI (M) loses at least 125 seats , so it can be well imagined what might have happened , had the two parties had gone for a simple seat adjustment . But time is running out for CPI (M) now and it will be definitely out of power soon . Unfortunately its sure and certain that the fall of CPI (M) from power will be immediately and instantaneously followed by the most horrendous statewide political violence and reprisals against it cadres and leaders for their accumulated sins over three decades and massive peoples rage against them. History of West Bengal will have to be written in blood.
