Formally launching the Left Front election campaign for the assembly and Lok Sabha polls from his Satgacia Assembly constituency in south 24-Parganas district Mr Basu said "right now I am not able to say whether the Congress ! would get 30 or 40 seats out of the 294 seats but it is certain we are returning to power."
Describing as "barbaric rule" of the Congress! in the early seventies when Mr Siddhartha Sankar Ray was the Chief Minister of We.t Bengal. Mr Basu asked "can the people of the state elect the Congress ! to power to form a government with the anti-socials".
Listing the achievements of the Left From government dur
Ing the last 14 years of its rule. Mr Basu said the return of the Congress-l to power would only result in jeopardising whatever the progress the state had made in various fields.
Obviously referring to the return of Mr S. S. Ray as the WBPCC (I) chief. Mr Basu said even those Congressmen who had thought of getting back their big leader in the state Cong-1 had already started realising what would be their fate in the coming polls.
AFP adds from Delhi : The Indian government revealed Its security blueprint for next month's elections Friday, saying more than half of the constituencies where balloting would be held were violence prone.
New Delhi has also identl fled between 70 and 80 of the 537 constituencies as "extra sensitive" an has plans to counter Hindu-Muslim and caste violence there during the national and state polls on May
20. 23 an 26.
State police chiefs have been asked to coordinate with local military units and the Army would be deployed to aid civilian authorities during the three days of balloting if needed, Home Secretary Raj Kumar Bhargava said.
Flanked by the chiefs of paramilitary organisations. Mr. Bhargava said Federal forces were facing manpower prob lems because of large existing deployments in the strife-tom states of Punjab. Kashmir and Assam.
"We have forces locked up in three states and we cannot move them, so we have a man power constraint." he said, re ferrtng to the scaled-down se curity plans for the May polls compared to the deployment of 750 companies (75.000 men) during the 1989 elec tions.
Thousands of Federal troopers are deployed In the two northern border provinces where Muslim and Sikh rebels
are waging bloody separatist campaigns.
In Assam, militants have temporarily suspended an antiIndian insurgency in the oil-rich northeastern state where New Delhi Imposed direct Federal rule last November. Army troops deployed at the time are now on stand down.
Mr. Bhargava said 640 companies of Federal paramilitary strike troopers would begin moving Saturday and contingents would be made available to all states from May 10 to guard against pre-poll trouble.
The same troopers would be "rolled" from state to state during the three-day balloting to ensure an adequate presence during polling, the Home Secretary, who Is In charge of Indian security, aid. adding that by rotating them the total manpower availability would double
