There was never any doubt that the Left Front (LF) would win the Assemblypolls comfortably and form the government for the seventh consecutive time inWest Bengal. But the landslide victory surprised many, including even ChiefMinister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, who told reporters that bagging 233 (out of294) seats was "beyond all our expectations". That the LF posted suchan impressive win despite a few odds is remarkable. And, thus, this couldperhaps be the sweetest and most significant victory for the LF so far.
