On May 8, 2026, the Left Front (LF) will hold a protest rally in Kolkata's Esplanade area, responding to reported attacks on working people in West Bengal. These incidents allegedly occurred during the BJP's victory celebrations following their significant win in the recent Assembly elections, where they secured 207 out of 294 seats. The Left Front, which had not won any seats in the previous three elections, managed to secure one seat this time through its constituent, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)), which won in the Domkal constituency of Murshidabad. Additionally, the Indian Secular Front (ISF) retained its seat in Bhangar, South 24 Parganas district. The rally is intended to highlight the LF's concerns regarding the safety and rights of the working class amid political celebrations.
