Dada takes on Didi, to campaign for CPI(M) !!!

CPI(M), which is staring at an uncertain future in West Bengal after the drubbing it got from opposition Trinamool Congress in Lok Sabha and municipal elections, has received a shot in the arm, with Sourav Ganguly, star cricketer and darling of the masses in the state, agreeing to campaign for the party in next year’s assembly election.

Sourav aka Dada will be pitted against the charismatic Trinamool leader Mamata Banerjee aka Didi.

The cricketer was persuaded by West Bengal corporation affairs and urban development minister Asok Bhattacharya, whom Sourav calls kaku (uncle). In the coming days, Sourav will take a tour of the state to boost morale of Left Front workers in the run-up to next year’s election.

Sourav will start his new innings with a lecture in Bhattacharya’s assembly constituency Siliguri on December 23. The subject of the lecture, Role of youth in leadership creation, suits the aim with which the Left is fielding him.
