Fait Accompli!

Now it’s almost a fait accompli that Left Front will lose power in 2011 Assembly poll, provided Mamata Banerjee makes no Himalayan blunder in the mean time. Now the
question arises what LF will do in the intervening period. Will it step down and seek fresh mandate to sit in opposition or continue as usual till 2011?.It’s to be noted Central govt is in no mood to promulgate President’s rule in the state, which might go to LF’s advantage, particularly when public mood is unrelentingly against the present govt. Naturally, it’ll let the govt collapse on its own. Under the present circumstances a govt with such sagging morale can’t function properly. As a result all developmental activities might virtually stop, violence and lawlessness awfully rise and all blame would be squarely laid on govt by the opposition. So some suggest in the party that it’s prudent for the Left to call it quits. However, party has decided not to surrender power now, what might be in store for it in Assembly poll in 2011!It argues, to quit now will be betrayal to people who gave overwhelming mandate in its favour to stay in power full term.
