Mamata expels MLA at Dinhata
The Trinamul Congress has expelled its outgoing MLA from Dinhata Mr Ashok Mandal. Party supremo Ms Mamata Banerjee announced this decision in her address at Dinhata on Wednesday. She was at Dinhata during her electioneering in favour of alliance candidates in Cooch Behar district. Mr Mandal is the lone MLA of the Trinamul Congress who got elected from Dinhata in 2006.
As Mr Mandal was found absent in the mass meeting at Samhati Maidan in Dinhata, Ms Banerjee turned angry and announced the decision over expulsion of Mr Mandal. She explained that the party can take such decision suo-motto. At the same time she made an appeal to the independent candidate Dr Fazle Haque to withdraw his candidature.
When contacted, Mr Mandal said he is in Siliguri as his elder sister is seriously ill. He alleged that Ms Banerjee is running the party whimsically. He feels that the expected 'change' will not take place at Dinhata by leaving the winning seat to the NCP. The security deposit may also be forfeited, he believes. Mr Mandal said he will consider of his joining to any other party after discussing the matter with his colleagues.
Mentionworthy, the Trinamul Congress offered the Dinhata seat to the NCP by replacing it with its outgoing MLA Mr Ashok Mandal. Following this Mr Mandal and many Trinamul activists got aggrieved. Meanwhile, the outgoing Congress MLA from Sitai Dr Fazle Haque announced his decision to contest from Dinhata as an independent candidate. Following party norms he got suspended automatically, he told reporters. At Dinhata many Congress and Trinamul Congress leaders and activists came out to support him. Following this development the decision to expel the lone MLA turned local political observers stunned because till now Mr Mandal was not found to campaign in favour of Dr Haque or against the NCP candidate.

So late for Mr. Mandal to realize that there was lack of democracy in TMC. However he wouldn't have spent a single word against Mamta Banerjee had he got the ticket. So no ticket ,no compromise for Mr. Mandal.
is it mr. ashok mandal or his frustration? what speaks out finally?had ms. mamata banerjee been so bad, then why did he keep mum on it?
still I think guys, Mr. Mandal deserves better. A lone TMC MLA in 2006 who is said to have done well in his assembly segment,should have got more respect. He was a good friend of didi in bad time.
mamta didi ye NCP kya hai?
actually it is ' NO TICKET NOMORE COMPROMISE' for Mr. Ashok Mandal.
Miss Mamata Banerjee, the would be honourable Chief Minister of W.B. has taken a drastic step against Mr. Mandal, as a futere administratrix of the state,also given a right message to all the reble trinomuli and congress high command that better an empty house than a bad tenant.
though after 2006,TMC did not have anything to brag about,still I think the out going MLA deserved a better farewell.
