Cover Story: Future Tense
The Cover Story includes:
1) Oh Bengal! By Amit Sengupta in Delhi
For the Left and for Bengal, it's Future Tense
2) Nightmare of hope by Seema Mustafa in Delhi
The arrogance of power ate into the vitals of the Left whose leadership and cadre became complacent and autocratic. The massive defeat was expected
3) Didi! by Partha & Priyanka Mukherjee in Kolkata

4) The discovery of defeat by Abhijit Kundu & Trinanjan Chakraborty in Kolkata/Delhi
In West Bengal's collective memory, the political has always been informed by mass restlessness. The shifting of such upsurge away from the Left created a unique opportunity for Mamata Banerjee to seize the moment
5) 'You cannot judge the Left by election results alone'
CPI Secretary Atul Anjaan talks to Sadiq Naqvi
The magazine also includes:
