Starting from the ruling Trinamool Congress to opposition parties like BJP, Left Front and Congress, the mood is somewhat like that the elections are happening for records sake with the conclusion paragraph already written well before the first button of the EVM being pressed.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, the principal campaign face of the party, restricted her campaign role in just three to four public meetings, without attending a single road show. Rather, during the campaign period she had focused on the coastal state in western India, Goa to propel her national expansion drive.
