Left debacle in West Bengal

Mohammed Jashim Uddin, BSS, Dhaka
Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Bannerjee has struck at the very heart of the left in West Bengal with a crushing victory that has brought to an end the longest reign of any left bloc in India. The election of West Bengal indicates again that public is the main source of state power. It is we who forget ethics after being elected and become detached from the mass people. We try to fulfill our own interest denying people's s expectations. This election of West Bengal is a warning even for the MPs of Bangladesh. We should learn from this election and should be honest and respectful to masses and perform our duties. Our hearty felicitations to Mamata Bannerjee on her electoral victory as we look forward to continuation and enrichment of our neighbourly relations with the Indian state of West Bengal.
