While a post-poll Pradesh Congress meeting on Monday saw heated arguments that soon degenarated into fisticuff s a crucial CPI(M) State committee meeting saw several leaders demanding a change of leadership both at the national and the State levels.
The heated exchanges took place in front of politburo members like Prakash Karat, Sitaram Yechury, Manik Sarkar, Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Biman Bose even as the senior leaders from party's erstwhile fortresses Burdwan, North Bengal and North Bengal poured venom against the “faulty policies” of top leadership.
