Congratulating the victory of the Save Constitution Forum, CPI(M) state secretary Jitendra Chaudhury emphasised the broader significance of the outcome. He asserted that beyond a mere election of legal professionals, the results symbolise the concerns and insecurities felt by Indian citizens under the current ruling dispensation.
Chaudhury interpreted the verdict as a clear indication of the collective will of the masses ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha election.
