“I have some apprehensions”

KOLKATA: The coming panchayat elections in West Bengal should go the Left Front’s way, though apprehensions persist on the question of unity among its constituents at certain levels and in some areas, veteran Marxist leader Jyoti Basu said here on Friday.

The polls are to be held on May 11, 14 and 18. “I am being told that the elections will turn out well for us but I have some apprehensions [on the question of unity among the Left Front partners]. The picture should be clearer within seven days,” Mr. Basu said when asked by journalists about the progress made on seat adjustments between the different Left parties for the polls.
