We made mistakes, admits CPM

The CPI-M on Wednesday said the party-led governments in West Bengal and Kerala had committed mistakes and the police firing in Nandigram was one among them.

"Our governments in Bengal and Kerala committed errors. We correct those errors. We have an institutional mechanism to do that. We hope we get results for that," CPI(M) Polit Bureau member M K Pandhe told reporters here.

He was responding to a question about their expectations from both the states in terms of seats in the coming Lok Sabha elections.

Refusing to speculate on the numbers, Pandhe said the Left Front in Bengal has not been allowed to carry forward their development policies due to opposition by an alliance led by Trinamool Congress, indicating the pullout by the Tatas of its Nano car project from Singur.
