CPI(M) secured 28 lakh votes in 2021 but zero seats: The big reason revealed!
•CPI(M) received over 28 lakh votes in the 2021 West Bengal assembly elections, yet failed to win a single seat.
•Despite the 'zero' seat count, CPI(M)'s vote share was 4.7%, indicating significant support in several constituencies.
•The party contested the 2021 elections in alliance with ISF and Congress, fielding young leaders like Minakshi Mukherjee and Srijan Bhattacharya.
•Key constituencies where CPI(M) performed notably well include Jadavpur, Belgachia East, Ballygunge, Singur, Domjur, Uluberia, and Uttarpara.
•Analysts attribute the lack of seats to the strong polarization between TMC and BJP, which split opposition votes and prevented CPI(M) from converting votes into wins.
