Politics in West Bengal is dominated by the following major political parties:
Communist Party of india(Marxist),
The Indian National Congress (also known as Congress(I)),
and the Trinamool Congress.
All three are leading a regional bloc of parties; the CPI(M) heads the Left
Front and the Trinamool Congress has emerged as the main component of the
UPA in the state, while the Congress(I) generally head informal alliances of
various minor parties that align ahead of elections.

ruled by communistsand other left groups till 2011. The erstwhile left front
led West Bengal state government holds the Indian record for the longest
period of governance.
