The CPI(ML) would contest from Balurghat, Raiganj and Darjeeling lok sabha seat in West Bengal and 15 seats all over the country, party general secretary and veteran communist leader Kanu Sanya told PTI on Saturday.

He said CPI(ML) was supporting the demand for ‘Gorkhaland´ but at the same time the party did not support the demand for a separate Kamtapur state.

Sanyal said that it was the need of the hour to commission the state reorganising committee to settle the demands for smaller states in the country.

He said the ‘third front´ was a farce having no no political ideology or principle.
