The final years of the Left Front were defined by the anti-land acquisition movements in Singur and Nandigram. ABP played a pivotal role here. By providing relentless, front-page coverage of the farmers' protests, the newspaper amplified the opposition movement led by Mamata Banerjee. Historians argue that ABP’s coverage was instrumental in turning public opinion against the Left Front, facilitating the political transition of 2011. bengali anandabazar patrika
