Take the Bolpur Parliamentary constituency that is represented by the Lok Sabha Speaker. In the 2001 Assembly elections, the CPM polled more than 90% of the votes in most polling booths. A sample of 312 voters was asked about their true voting intentions if the elections were truly free and fair this time around. Astonishingly, just about 30% of the respondents said that they will vote for the Left Front, while 70% of the voters said that they will vote against the Left Front. Similarly, the Left had polled more than 90% votes in many booths in Barrackpore.
