The Left Front, which has accused both the BJP and the Congress of lacking political will on the women’s reservation bill, has fielded only two women out of 42 candidates in its bastion West Bengal, down from five it had fielded in 2004 elections.” 
Chama cha Mrengo wa Kushoto, ambacho kimevishutumu vyama vya BJP na Congress kwa kutokuwa na nia ya kisiasa kuhusiana na sheria ya viti maalum vya wanawake, imewateua wagombea wawili tu wanawake kati ya wagombea 42 kwenye ngome yao ya jimbo la Bengali ya Mashariki, idadi hii ni ya chini zaidi ya wale watano ambao kiliwasimasha katika uchaguzi wa mwaka 2004."
