The ruling Left Front today failed to chalk out its Lok Sabha poll campaign, though it has asked its partners to prepare for a massive rally to be held on February 8. Following a meeting on Thursday at the CPM headquarters in Alimuddin Street, Front chairman Biman Bose announced that the campaign strategy will be formulated later.
Sources in the CPM said the blueprint will be crucial for the party. Right now, the Front is waiting for Opposition leader Mamata Banerjee to declare her political ally at the Centre.
Sources in the Front said the meeting was initiated by Bose to ensure unity during the elections.
