GB meetings were held at district and block HQs in West Bengal too. It is customary for Left leaders from all parties to pay respects at Lenins statue at Dharmatola. At the statue, CPI(ML) comrades hung a banner with the lines:Lenin bhumistha rakte, klibatar kache nei wrin - ganahatyar kshama nei, garjay ajuta Lenin (Lenin lives on/is alive in our blood, we have no debt to impotence - no carnage goes unpunished, roar a million Lenin). When Buddhadeb Bhattacharya came to the statue, he was greeted by the sight of that banner, the first line of which is from a poem by the revolutionary Communist poet Sukanta Bhattacharya (whose legacy his nephew Buddhadeb is in a hurry to shed).
At Rajasthan, GB meetings were held at Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jhunjhunu and Guhana. In Punjab, similar events were held at Mansa, Barnala and Ludhiana.
