Preset ideologies, Ambivalence towards Industry,Goondaism cost the Urban Votes.
In addition forced land acquisition and poor compensation for Lands cost the Rural Votes.
Add to this- the fiery and rumbustious style of Mamata Bannerjee Politics.
The survey projects the Trinamool and Congress are likely to win 210-220 seats, while the Left is likely to manage just 65-70 in a 294-member House.
For the ruling Left, it might be a loss of 153 to 168 seats. Simply put, the Left is staring at a rout.
And it’s a total reversal of fortunes for Mamata’s anti-Left Mahajot – 159 to 169 seats more than the last Assembly elections of 2006.
As for the vote share of the players in the 2006 elections, the Left was the undisputed champion with 48% vote share.
The Trinamool and Congress had 41% vote share together. Trinammol and Congress had fought separately in 2006. Their numbers have been added to put things in perspective.
