"Hate boma, mukhe prem, Eer nam CPI-M (Bomb in hand, love on lips, this is the CPI-M)," says one by the Trinamool Congress. The CPI-M or Communist Party of India-Marxist has one to counter that: "Unnoyonke bhot din/Abarodh aar nairajyake noy/bechhe nin, kara mitra, kara shatru". (Vote for development, not for blockades and anarchy, choose who is your friend and enemy). A full-scale slogan war is on as election fever soars. Parties are either blowing their own trumpet or poking fun at rival outfits through catchy slogans.
