RSP demands Assembly seat in Malda



MALDA, ( India) Dec. 18. — The Revolutionary Socilist Party leaders have demanded that one Assembly seat should be given to them so that one of their candidates could contest from Malda in the coming Assembly election. The decision was taken at a district conference of Revolutionary Youth League on Saturday at Pakuahaat in the Bamongola police station area of Malda where the Balurghat MP, Mr Ranen Barman, was also present. It may be recalled that at the state conference of the RSP, held in Malda last year, the leaders had decided to demand at least one seat in this district considering their organisational strength here. In Malda, the RSP had been demanding not only assembly seat but also seats for Malda zilla parishad for last three years. It may be recalled that in the last panchayat election, the RSP had fielded its candidates where the CPI-M candidates were contesting. As a result, the Left Front had lost two of their seats with narrow margin and the anti-Left parties led by the Congress washed out the LF from power in Malda zilla parishad. Addressing at a district conference of RYL, the leaders said that out of 11 assembly segments the LF has allotted only one seat Harishchandrapur for Forward Bloc many years ago but after that despite all their demands no changes have been made here following objection of the district CPI-M leadership. The district leaders, Mr Goutam Gupta and Mr Sarbananda Padey said that they would send the fresh proposal to its state leadership demanding allotment of one assembly seat in this district. — SNS
