Give us power, we will give you votes

Improve the power situation or we won't vote for you. This is what people living in the semi-urban panchayat areas of Hooghly district have told the candidates of the CPI-M and other Left Front contestants during their door-to-door canvassing as a part of their poll campaign. Having been criticised for failing to improve the power situation, the CPI-M zonal committees have asked the West Bengal State Electricity Board (WBSEB) to ensure round the clock power supply to houses at least before the polls, scheduled for 14 May in the district, said a senior CPI-M district committee member.
