Left Front celebrates 30th anniversary in power
Pti, Kolkata
Next only to the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan which ruled the island nation for 38 years, CPI(M)-led Left Front on Thursday, earned the rare distinction of completing 30th year in power uninterruptedly in the Indian state of West Bengal. Communist regimes are there in power in China since 1949, in Cuba since 1959, in DPR Korea since 1948, Vietnam since 1945 and also in Bolivia for a longer period of time, but considering the rule in any province of a country, CPI (M)-led Left Front has set an unprecedented record of sorts in this state.
