West Bengal Assembly Election

PCC chief warns dummy candidates

PCC chief Dr Manas Bhuinya made it clear that they will take measures against the dummy candidates who are contesting in the Assembly election by ignoring the official stance of the Congress. On Wednesday Dr Bhuinya came to Cooch Behar district to campaign in favour of the Congress candidate Mr Jayanta Ray at Mekhliganj. At the same time he called upon the Trinamul Congress leadership to take similar actions against the dummy candidates of that party.

The PCC chief hoped that the people of the state are in favour of a change of the government and that change is coming soon as they would vote against the tyrannical rule of the Left Front government. He alleged that the Left Front run government has failed to cater well to the people and it failed to do any development of the state.

Mekhliganj is the one of the two Assembly segments in Cooch Behar that the Congress got chance to field a candidate. The other seat it got is Sitai.

In Mekhliganj a Trinamul Congress leader Mr Sunil Ray is contesting as an independent candidate with active support of many local Congress and Trinamul Congress leaders and activists. A section of the Congress supporters are aggrieved with the official candidate because they wanted Mr Mrintyunjay Singha Sarakar as the candidate. On the otherhand, local Trinamul supporters wanted the seat for a Trinamul Congress candidate. Angry at the decisions of their concerned parties they came out jointly to support Mr Sunil Ray. His party however expelled him from the party for his disobedience of party decisions.

After Dr Bhuinya's warning it is expected that a few local Congress leaders may also face punitive measures due to their activities in favour of the rebel Trinamul candidate.

mr. pranab mukherjee is in a sort dilemma ....whether to go hard at adhir chowdhury or to do nothing about him keeping in mind that had adhir not lent the jangipur seat and campaigned in favor of him in the last loksabha election ,he would have been no ones business .

It's clear that the 126 years old congress party has no relevancy to the w.b. politics,leaders are thrown out by the voters of the state many times. Most of the so-called and self- declared congress 'neta' are not of the people, by the people and for the people.
