HIGH VOLTAGE CAMPAIGN

The high-voltage campaign for the fifth phase election to 38 constituencies in the Maoist-hit districts of West Midnapur, Bankura, Purulia and parts of Burdwan district ended on Thursday. When the Left Front suffered a rout in South Bengal in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls at the hands of the Trinamool Congress, these four districts, together known as the red fort, stemmed the wind of change blowing hard across Bengal. Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee played the development card during her hectic campaign, promising industry, educational institutes and hospitals.

Alleging that the Maoist problem was created by the CPM, Mamata had said the Marxist party branded as a Maoist whoever protested against the CPM's 'reign of terror'. The Left leaders on the other hand had accused Mamata of making 'false promises' to persue tribals in the region. Bhattacharjee had alleged, "If Trinamool Congress wins, the Maoists will raise their heads again in the state.

Giving vote to them equals to giving vote to the Maoists." Addressing an election meeting, Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee had urged the Maosits to avoid violence and sit for talks to settle their demands. Union Home Minister P Chidabaram, who had addressed campaign meetings at Keshpur and Garbeta in West Midnapur district, tore into the Left Front's shoddy record on the law and order front. Tight security arrangement has been made for the fifth phase as well as the sixth and last phase.

Apart from state forces, around 550 to 600 companies of central paramilitary forces would be deployed in the 38 constituencies, election office. Of the 38 seats, 12 are in West Midnapur district, five in Purulia district, nine in Bankura district and 12 in Burdwan district. The Left Front is contesting all the 38 seats - CPM in 32 seats, Forward Bloc in three and the CPI, RSP, DSP and the BBC (Biplabi Bangla Congress) one each.
