MALDA. Jan. 18. — The Opposition’s target to dislodge the CPM-backed board in English Bazaar Municipality, has been stalled owing to misunderstanding between the Congress and Trinamul councillors over the selection of the next chairman. Sources said that one of the senior congress councillor, Mr Narendranath Tewari has expressed his displeasure with the decision to nominate Mr Dulal Sarkar, a Trinamul councillor and a rebel leader of the party, as the next chairman. Though it was not officially decided who will be the next chairman after ouster of the present Left board. But it was learnt that the Trinamul congress will give chair to rebel one who had cast vote in favour of the CPI-M six month ago. It may be recalled that Trinamul chief Miss Mamata Banerjee, during her visit, instructed to dislodge the CPI-M here and form a board with the help of Congress and BJP just to make a primary model of mahajot here. She also said: “After dislodging the CPI-M the party will decided who will be next chairman.” The district Trinamul leaders, after holding a meeting with Miss Mamata Banerjee, had sent a letter reminding all the Left councillors regarding the no-confidence motion called by them a month ago. The Trinamul has also decided that they would call the requisition meeting on 24 January to dislodge the Left-backed chairman. Retorting to the issue, the CPI-M councilors said they don’t bother about the requisition meeting. “Let them settle their internal quarrel. A few Opposition councillors will always vote for us (directly or indirectly) over the issue of chairman selection”, a CPI-M councillor said. — SNS
Opp upset over stay order
MALDA, Jan. 20.— The Opposition councilors were upset today upon receiving information that the ruling councilors have received a stay order stalling their no-confidence motion for removing the chairman of the civic body. Political sources said that a group of CPI-M councilors moved the court to take-on 13 Trinamul, Congress and the BJP councilors prepared to dislodge the present chairman. On the basis of a technical ground relating to the Municipal Act, a section of CPI-M councilors managed to get the approval for a stay order on no-confidence motion, in the absence of the caveat in the High Court. Sources said that the Opposition had calculated a wrong date for calling requisition meeting for removal of the chairman. — SNS
