Apropos the report, "Mamata Banerjee cautions people against voting for CPI(M)" (March 27), it is apparent from the West Bengal chief minister's scathing attacks that seat adjustments between the Left Front and the Congress have become a matter of concern for the Trinamool Congress in the state's Assembly polls.

A lot of developmental work has been done in Jangalmahal. Banerjee's (pictured) government has been able to establish peace in the area. After the death of Maoist leader Kishenji in an allegedly fake encounter and the surrender and arrest of a number of Maoist activists, the outfit has been in disarray in Jangalmahal. Employment drives such as recruitment in civic police service have helped the youth return to the mainstream.

Jangalmahal has seen almost no violent activities in the last four years or so. Banerjee, although confident that her party will fare well in Jangalmahal, wants to leave little room for Opposition parties in that constituency. The party seems set for a good start in the first phase of polling in Jangalmahal on April 4.
