MALDA, Jan. 6. — While all anti-Left political leaders in Malda are looking forward towards the outcome of the meeting on the proposed grand alliance called by the PCC tomorrow, veteran Congress leader, Mr ABA Ghani Khan Choudhury, today decided to send his sister Mrs Rubi Noor to convey his views to the PCC on the issue of ‘Mahajot”, which he had called five years ago, the Malda Congress leaders said today. The Congress leaders said their leader, Mr ABA Ghani Khan Choudhury would abstain from the meeting tomorrow in Kolkata, but, he has expressed his view in favour of the ‘grand alliance’ using his own formula.“Barkat-da’s theory is to form an alliance through seat adjustment scientifically, based on an individual organisation of the anti-Left parties. The Congress can easily make the seat adjustment with the Trinamul in the state. But one thing important is that the Trinamul Congress will have to sacrifice the seat adjustment. The proposed candidates for Congress will select seats in the state, as per their winning probabilities and leave the rest of the seats for the Trinamul Congress. The Trinamul Congress will distribute ticket to its candidates and share with the BJP. But, the Congress will never look into their matter”, a senior Congress leader in Malda said. “In the last assembly election, Mr Ghani Khan Choudhury had proposed the same plan to targeting at least 75 seats for the Congress, but, the plan is yet to be materialised”, the Congress leader added. On the other hand, the Malda Trinamul leaders have welcomed yesterday’s Ghani Khan’s call for unity and see in it a chance for forging alliance among the anti-Left parties. “We have always advocated for the alliance of the non-left parties and Ghani Khan yesterday hinted for the same”, said Mr KN Choudhury, the district Trinamul president.“Mamatadi is my leader, but, I see Barkat-da as the father of my political life”, Mr Choudhury said. It may be noted that Miss Mamata Banerjee is trying hard to establish the Malda model for grand alliance, where the Congress, the Trinamul and the BJP have formed Malda Zilla Paris to form the grand alliance in the state for the assembly election. #
