Kolkata:
There's no question of elections before 2011 in West Bengal, that's what the left made clear on Sunday.
This comes after partners in the ruling Left Front demanded snap polls after their rout in the assembly bypolls last week.
The demand for early elections was a murmur after the Left's Lok Sabha debacle. That murmur has now become a rumble and may soon escalate into a roar.
Senior CPM politburo member Biman Bose ruled it out on Sunday.
"The polls are scheduled for 2011 so they will be held then. We have the mandate 2011. There is no plan to advance the elections. Neither our party nor the Left front wants it," said Bose.
