The Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP), a key constituent of the Left Front, has openly rebelled against the seat-sharing arrangement in constituencies like Bhangar, Basanti, and Khanakul. In a direct blow to ISF Chairman Naushad Siddiqui, who is contesting from Bhangar, the RSP has decided to support the CPIML (Liberation) Mass Line candidate instead of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a scathing official statement, the RSP accused the ISF of &#8220;blackmailing&#8221; the Left Front and acting contrary to leftist ideologies. They claimed that the ISF is strategically using the Left&#8217;s organizational strength to favor the TMC-BJP polarization, which ultimately weakens the class struggle led by the Left. Consequently, the RSP has fielded Advocate Samar Biswas from the Basanti seat and announced plans to name a candidate for Khanakul soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amidst this internal turmoil, Left Front Chairman Biman Bose has issued a press release calling for total unity across all 294 seats to defeat the TMC and BJP. According to Bose, the Left Front is slated to contest 252 seats, with the RSP allotted 16. However, the RSP\u2019s decision to go solo in several key pockets marks a significant breakdown in the secular-democratic alliance, casting a shadow over their unified electoral campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a dramatic turn of events ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections, a major rift has surfaced within the Left-ISF alliance.
