West Bengal Elections

[ASEN01]

Hi everybody,

Can anyone post the detailed constituency wise results for the Lok Sabha
and Bidhan Sabha elections for West Bengal Only. I am surprised that
Bengali's; who are known to be very politically conscious; not discussing
the current political situation in bengal after the 1996 elections. I
expected to see some detailed results in this news group. So if anyone
has any info, please share them with the rest of us.

Thanks and regards,

Amit Sen
