The resultant battle of a resurgent left front with the police left blood splattered on the roads of Kolkata with stones and bricks strewn all over. From appearances, it looked as if the police had been taken by surprise. They had never expected such a display of togetherness.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 28 august 2015.
The left front was naturally elated at the turnout and their message to the ruling TMC was clear – do not underestimate the left parties. They can still make a dent and this was a wakeup call.
