MALDA. March. 10. — The Opposition councillors of English Bazaar Municipality decided to move a no-confidence motion against the present CPI-M-backed board after an order issued by the High Court today, the Malda Trinamul leaders said. The CPI-M backed Left councillors including the chief of the civic board, as an Independent member, had managed to get a stay order from the High Court pointing out a technical mistake in the letter of no-confidence issued by the Opposition councillors a few weeks back.“The letter of no-confidence issued by the Opposition was declared “valid” by the court. We can call a fresh no-confidence motion against them,” said Mr KN Chowdhury, the former chief of the English Bazaar civic body and district president of Trinamul Congress.On the other hand, the CPI-M councillors told reporters that they got a 15 day stay order from the court and they would go to Division Bench. The Opposition councillors argued that the court has allowed them only two weeks time for appealing to the Division Bench. “It does not mean we can not call a no-confidence motion against them. We are waiting for the original court order to chalk out the next strategy to dislodge the CPI-M from the board,” said Mr Amlan Bhaduri, a BJP councillor for the board.Both the Congress and Trinamul-BJP councillors have been united to remove the present chairman before the Assembly election. It may be recalled, including the Independent candidate, the LF has only 11 members out of the 25-member board but owing to internal squabbling one Congress and one Trinamul councillor had cast their vote in favour of the Independent member during the chairman’s election.
