Left Front Left Red-faced After Demonetization Bandh Fails in Bengal

The Left Front was left red-faced as its 12-hour strike to protest the Centre's demonetization of high-denomination currency notes failed to evoke much response from the people, with front chairman Biman Bose acknowledging that the "thought" behind it was wrong.

"We thought that the people would understand the reason behind the strike. The thought we had was not right; it was wrong. We have understood this. We will take lessons from it in the future. We will discuss it at the party meetings," he candidly told reporters. However, Bose argued that the strike was called at a "very short notice".
