As West Bengal heads for the fifth round of polling on April 17, the outcome of the keenly contested assembly elections in the state is simply getting more obvious. No it is not in the huge crowds that seem to be gathering wherever home minister Amit Shah goes while he reaches out to voters in the state. A change in regime seems inevitable; not just because the BJP election machinery has worked at it tirelessly. Or because Modi- Shah have willed it immaculately. Everyone now wants Trinamool Congress to go and no one perhaps more keenly awaits it than the Grand Alliance of the Left Parties- the Congress and the ISF. Yes, the secular front is of the unanimous view that Mamata Banerjee must be trounced in this election.
