Poll Prospect Of Congress In Bengal

Congress took more than three weeks to declare the names of the contestants in upcoming assembly election since the announcement of poll dates.But what's unfortunate the list has practically satisfied none.So now all hell has broken loose.Infighting among the Congress workers has started almost in every district.Workers from many constituencies are staging demonstrations at Pradesh Congress office for change of candidates.However, it's nothing new for Congress.Before each election almost similar things happen.What is worrying is this time resentment among congress activists is quite high.Many heavy weight Congress leaders have been denied tickets.At many places the disgruntled leaderships are fielding candidates to contest the official ones. Heavyweight leaders like Adhir Choudhury in Murshidabad and Shanker Singh in Nadia have declared rebellion openly.Again, some Congress workers at Murshidabad have reportedly burnt the pictures of Adhir Choudhury in protest. Congress party seems now to be in total disarray.SUCI, PDS and other small parties which were scheduled to form alliance with Cong and TMC are now forming a separate front which would plant candidates against Cong.It's really difficult for such a disintegrated and disunited party to fight an election.It's very likely the workers won't put in their whole hearted endeavour to see their candidates win.On the contrary they might sabotage the candidatures of their own party.However, things might apparently shape up at the last moment, but under current of discontent might flow and that would stand in the way of faring well in polls,.
