Senior Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Mohd Salim said the resurgence of West Bengal wasn’t possible without the revival of the Left Front. Addressing a press conference on Wednesday in Kolkata, Salim said. “The resurgence of Bengal is not possible without the revival of the Left Front.The focus of the media should not be on a corrupted party but on the people instead.” “Corruption prevails in the state in various spheres, whether it be teacher recruitment, 100-day work, housing schemes or children's mid-day meals,” he said. Several welfare programmes like unemployment benefits and old-age pension taken up during the Left Front rule have been “stopped by the current TMC government”, said Salim, the secretary of the party's state unit. “We want to break the nexus of corruption and criminals in the state,” he added.
