AGARTALA, May 30 (TIWN): Experiencing a massive loss in the WB assembly CPI-M has finally sat for review meeting regarding the election results on Sunday and will continue till Monday at New Delhi. The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) politburo will hold a two-day meeting in New Delhi on Sunday to review the outcome of the assembly elections in four states and a union territory. It is to be mentioned here that the meeting would also review the present political situation in the country. Reportedly, the three-day politburo and central committee meetings were earlier to be held on May 22-24 in New Delhi but were postponed. The three-day central committee meeting is scheduled to be held on June 18-20.The 16-member politburo and the 93-member central committee will thoroughly study the party's performance in the five states, specially the electoral disaster in West Bengal. Though the CPI-M leadership in Tripura is upbeat over the party's good showing in Kerala, it is upset over the Left Front's poor performance in West Bengal.Meanwhile, a two-day meeting of CPI-M's Tripura state committee concluded here on Friday. The state committee has discussed various organisational matters and outcome of recent elections to the local bodies including Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council.CPI-M has faced a massive loss in the WB polls where although CPI-M and Congress had joined hand to fight against Mamata but one such mismatch of ideology has come against their existence in the political scenario.

The Left won only 33 of the 294 seats up for grabs. The Trinamool Congress captured the state, winning 211 seats.

A section of the politbureau feel that the party’s alliance with the Congress was a wrong decision “amounting to a deviation” from the tactical line laid down by the CPI (M)’s highest decision-making body, the triennial party congress.

The Trinamool, as in all other years since the Panchayat elections of 2008, has gained substantially in south Bengal, which has 218 of 294 seats. The Trinamool got 191 of these in 2014. Now it has bagged nearly the same number. Additionally, it improved its performance in four districts of north Bengal. Elections in the state were held in six-phases beginning from April 4 with 1961 candidates including 198 women in the fray.

All the phases of the election saw over 80 per cent turnout.
