CPI-M politburo member M K Pandhe said the politburo will have a preliminary discussion on the poll results and the central committee will analyse in detail the reasons for the loss in elections.
Asked whether one can expect a leadership change following the poll setback, Pandhe said, "I don't think there is any change in leadership." He told reporters that reports about Bhattacharjee opting out were not right. "We have not been informed about anything. It is wrong," Pandhe said.
West Bengal CPI-M Secretary Biman Bose termed as "rumours" reports on Bhattacharjee opting out of Polit Bureau taking responsibility for the drubbing in Bengal polls. "These are all rumours. It is concocted and manufactured," Bose said.
