Because CPM cannot claim credit for what is probably the most successful rural 
poverty alleviating measure in two-three decades in the state (and 
nation-wide).  It undermines CPM's legitimacy as the party of "workers"...and 
in the context of Singur and Nandigram only further reinforces the sense that 
CPM have abandoned their traditional base.  Don't get me wrong, Trinamool 
Congress are nothing but opportunists, and INC somewhat less so in West Bengal, 
but the point is the last 3-4 years in WB have been a disaster in terms of 
CPM's legitimacy.
