Multi-corner fight will provide a distinct advantage to CPI-M as opposition votes will be divided among, at least, Trinamool Congress and BJP, opined another Political Observer. Both BJP and Trinamool Congress have are vying for the 2nd position, however, both the parties are targeting CPI-M in their campaigns and so far refrained from criticizing each other. “Though Trinamool Congress and BJP are bitter rivals in West Bengal, these two parties are not politically attacking each other and both are focusing on anti-CPI(M) campaign in almost identical line, like nepotism, financial irregularties etc. Opposition parties are yet to find any concrete issue against the ruling party ”, stated Political experts and veteran Journalists of the State.
