MALDA, Dec 23: The English Bazaar municipality chief Mr Narendranath Tiwari has failed to manage their seven rebel councillors. Owing to non-cooperation from seven councillors the Congress led board with the help of BJP and Trinamul councillors has failed to adopt resolution regarding some plans and programmes in last two board of councillors meetings. Despite interference of the district Congress president Ms Rubi Noor, the board has been facing crisis due to this internal feud among non-left councillors. Despite several requests the seven councillors Prativa Singha, Shantanu Saha, Surajit Das, Kakali Choudhury, Ashok Saha, Sandhya Das and Rama Prasad Banerjee did not attend board of councillors’ meeting yesterday. A month ago they did not attend the meeting. Taking advantage of this present crisis the Left councillors have been boycotting the board of councillors meeting in last two months. The upset civic body chief and Congress leader Mr Tiwari told reporters that those rebel councillors did not attend the meeting following the instruction of the Congress MLA in English Bazaar Mr KN Choudhury. “Councillors are not happy with the present chairman. He should start a fresh dialogue with the ‘rebel’ councillors to overcome the crisis”, said Mr Choudhury. It may be noted that Ms.Rubi Noor held meeting twice with Mr Choudhury to sort out the on going problem following complaints from civic body chief and other Congress councillors. “The rebel councillors are officially working in their assigned departments but did not attend yesterday's meeting. Even they did not explain the cause of boycotting meeting”, Mr. Tiwari said. The Trinamul district president and councillors Mr Dulala Sarkar said: “The rebel councillors and the Left councillors have jointly plan to dislodge the present board”. “We are boycotting last two board meetings called by the chairman demanding clarification about corruption charges on the present board. But they do not bother to invite us for discussion”, said the Opposition leader and CPIM councillor Mr DN Chaki.
