MALDA, (India)Dec. 23. — A total of 13 out of councillors of English Bazaar municipality, belonging to the Congress, Trinamul and BJP, today called a no-confidence motion against the Left Front backed board under section 18(3) of the Municipal Act. Though the rebel Trinamul councillors were present and put their signature in the official letter submitted to the chairman of the civic body and, the copy of which was later forwarded to the district magistrate and other concerned officials, one Congress councillor, Mr Biswanath Guho, did not join the movement. The chairman of the civic body, Mr Nihar Ranjan Ghosh, said: “According to the Municipal Act I must call a meeting to show our majority in January 2006. In the meantime, we would discuss the matter and chalk out our stand to overcome the situation”. It may be recalled that Mr Ghosh was elected by one vote in the chairman election six months after the civic body election in English Bazaar. Ignoring the call of no-confidence against him, the LF-backed Independent civic body chief also informed the reporters that they have chalked out lots of developmental schemes and invited all reporters to visit an area of wet land called Chatrabil on 25 December morning where the district officials will estimate the proposed project of new township there including beautification of the wet land after purifying the drainage waters of the town. According to him, he would discuss the proposed water supply projects with the public health minister and housing minister Mr Goutam Deb tonight at Malda circuit house in English Bazaar including the supply of arsenic free water in added areas on the western side of the railway tracks from the nearest rural project. On 28 we will meet the divisional railway manager of Malda division for seeking permission for the construction of a feeder road along the railway track connecting ward no 23 and 24 for easy access to English Bazaar town via Rathbari NH-34 five point crossing.
No-trust plan against EB civic body
Statesman News Service
MALDA, ( India) Dec. 13. — Mr Dulal Sarkar, the rebel Trinamul Congress leader and councillor of the English Bazaar Municipality, has planned to call a no-confidence motion against the Left Front-backed civic board of English Bazaar in the fourth week of December, sources said.
After being cornered by the party over several political issues and violation of laws, Mr Sarkar was directed to call a no-confidence motion by the party supremo, Miss Mamata Banerjee, recently.
Sources said that Mr Sarkar is ready to appear in a crucial test following two cases, which are under process against him.
“How he would manage to escape is a very difficult question right now but he is trying hard to save his councillor post after a case of anti-defection law in High Court and his fake schedule caste certificate issue. He may quit the party violating another whip from the top Trinamul leaders only to save his membership in the LF-backed English Bazaar civic body”, a district Trinamul leader said.
It may be noted that the Trinamul district president, Mr KN Chowdhury, is not interested to call no-confidence against the present board with the help of the Congress and the BJP right now.
“The reason is nothing but to cancel Mr Sarkar’s post according to law”, the Trinamul sources said.
Sources also said that the Trinamul state leader, Mr Mukul Roy, might come to watch the no-confidence motion as the observer in English Bazaar.
“Mr Mukul Roy, who was allegedly backing Mr Dulal Sarkar in this internal party feud, had suggested me to file a case of anti-defection law against Mr Dulal Sarkar, after detection of cross voting in chairman election”, Mr KN Choudhury claimed today.
“No-confidence will be coming after finalisation of total member of councillors in the board. It would be better to call no confidence, as the total number will be 24 out of 25. And it would be more easier to bag the vote of another rebel councillor from congress to table the majority list of 13 councillors”, said Mr KN Choudhury.
“But Mr Sarkar will do every work for calling no confidence motion in the selected date of the party”, he added.
On the other hand, the Trinamul district president has kept two top congress leaders and the MP under pressure reporting against congress councillor Mr Biswanath Guho, who is also the district president of the Intuc.
The LF-backed board with 11 members, including an Independent, has got support from two councillors Mr D Sarkar and Mr Guho out of 25 member board where the anti-left councillors were 14.
Malda Trinamul gets new women’s wing
Statesman News Service
MALDA, Dec. 11. — The rebel Malda Trinamul Congress leader, Mr Dulal Sarkar, has formed a new Trinamul Congress women’s wing in English Bazaar by “bypassing” the district Trinamul Congress, Mr K N Chowdhury.
After formation of the new women’s cell parallel to another women wing, formed by the district president of the Trinamul Congress, Mr Chowdhury, the Malda Trinamul has been sharply divided.
A few days ago, the rebel leader had called a meeting and had convened a programme for the youth wing and had invited the district president of the Trinamul Congress, but the show witnessed a very poor attendance by the members from this lobby.
On the other hand, when a group of state leaders called Mr D Saha, district president of the youth Trinamul Congress few days ago to attend a meeting in Kolkata, the rebel leader, Mr Sarkar was reportedly too busy to attend the programme, at the same time, declaring Mr Saha as president of the youth Trinamul Congress in Malda district that was backed by other state leaders of the Trinamul Congress.
As a result of a series of such mud-slinging incidents performed by the two groups of the Malda Trinamul Congress, a rift has occurred between the groups, who are now facing great crisis in carrying out their plans and programmes harmoniously.
Sources informed that a group of Trinamul Congress leaders have been reporting against Mr KN Chowdhury and his behaviour with other Congress leaders to Miss Mamata Banerjee and have successfully beaten Mr Chowdhury in getting power from the state leaders associated with Miss Banerjee.
Ignoring the relation with Miss Mamata Banerjee, which is gradually turning sour, Mr Chowdhury is now busy strengthening friendship with two top Congress leaders, Mr AB A Ghani Khan Chowdhury and Mr Priya Ranjan Das Munshi.
The rebel leader has allegedly lodged complaint before Miss Mamata Banerjee against Mr K N Chowdhury saying that he is trying to get a ticket to contest in the assembly election from English Bazaar.
Though Miss Mamata Banerjee told both Mr Chowdhury and Mr Sarkar, to work together but the latter is adamant to prove himself right on the issue of ‘sweet relation’ with the Congress.
On the other hand, Mr Sarkar was also accused for supporting the CPI-M in casting a vote to an independent councilor, as the chairman of the English Bazaar municipality was backed by the CPI-M. #
