Kolkata, May 13 (PTI) West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee will tender his resignation today following the debacle suffered by the CPI(M)-led ruling Left Front in the Assembly polls.

"The Chief Minister will meet Governor M K Narayanan at Raj Bhavan to formally hand over his resignation letter," party sources told PTI here.

Bhattacharjee was the chief minister of the state for two consecutive terms since May, 2001, taking over the baton from party patriarch Jyoti Basu who was at the helm of affairs in the state since 1977.

Meanwhile, the CPI(M) state secretariat met here to review the severe drubbing in the election suffered by the party-led Front which ruled the state uninterruptedly since 1977.

All the 17 secretariat members were present at the meeting which was presided over by party's state secretary Biman Bose and attended by the chief minister.

The 10-party Left Front is also scheduled to meet.

    West Bengal might have been one
    of the most prosperous State of
    India with her location and the
    long tradition. But, it was
    pushed back as a hopless state
    by the greater influence of
    communism led by Mr. Jyoti Basu.

    Later on he was changed, also
    his follower Battacharjee was
    far open-minded in driving W. Bengal to a free-enterprise
    spirit. But the electorate of
    West Bengal went far ahead of him
    in their reformed mindset towards
    attaining prosperity, also to break
    away from the rotten and corrupted marxist bureaucracy.

    Congratulations for the bold step
    you have taken. West Bengal is
    going to prosper very fast in the
    days ahead.
