Kolkata, May 11 (UNI) Even as the Left Front had a roller-coaster ride, swamping the West Bengal Assembly election with a four-fifth majority, the urban middle class in the capital is yet to shower their complete faith as the districts had done with the Front managing to keep 10 seats to its kitty out of the 21.

While the CPI(M) bagged seven seats, its other partners, RSP and Forward Bloc, romping home in one seat each. The Front-backed RJD also notched a seat in its favour. However, the CPI failed to open its account in the capital.
