With ruling Left Front in West Bengal performing badly in the assembly bypolls,Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Tuesday declined to comment on the results.
“No,” Bhattacharjee,a senior CPI(M) member shot back when reporters questioned him at the state secretariat,Writers Buildings,to comment on the poll outcome.
Jyoti Basu,who had issued an unprecedented appeal to the Congress to vote for the left in the byelections,was not told about the results of the ten assembly constituencies.
“He was not informed of the election results. What does he have to say about it now?” the 96-year-old Marxist veteran’s aide Joykrishna Ghosh said when asked.
