MALDA, May 15: Mr Kshiti Goswami, the state PWD minister and RSP leader, today said that CPI-M’s heinous attack on the RSP supporters in Basanti would certainly have impact on third phase of rural polls where the CPI-M will have to pay the price for its misdeeds. Speaking to reporters during panchayat poll campaigning at Bangitola in Kaliachak-II block, where CPI-M and RSP candidates are contesting each other, Mr. Goswami said: “Our supporters were being tortured by the CPI-M men for over a few years in Basanti. The CPI-M men had targeted our supporters in connivance with the administration, particularly police, to win all seats without contesting”. “At least 56 houses of our supporters were gutted in these areas following attacks by the CPI-M men in Basanti. I had specifically warned the district and state administration regarding this. But they were reluctant to take action against them,” he said. “They wanted to win all the seats in Basanti in the way they won more than 700 seats in Hooghly, Arambagh sub-division without contest. But Basanti, Gosaba areas were the stronghold of the RSP where our workers did not agree to surrender before the CPI-M terror tactics,” he claimed.Today, amid slogan raised on the issue of Basanti Mr Goswami addressed a public rally at Bangitola, in favour of RSP candidate Mr Ainul Hoque who is contesting against the CPI-M candidate Mr Rabijuddin Ahmed. “People of Basanti did not surrender before the CPI-M. You should learn from them. Our ideal of democracy does not match with theirs who want to rule the state without Opposition”, Mr Goswami said. It may be noted that hundreds of RSP candidates are contesting against the CPI-M candidates in gram panchayat and panchayat samiti level mainly in Bamongola, Manikchak, Ratua and other block areas. Reacting to the comment of the CPI-M state leader Mr Binoy Konar, Mr Goswami said: “ Let him keep his mouth shut... he knows nothing about the ground reality of Basanti and adjoining villages”. The PWD minister also criticised the chief minister Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacherjee on the issue of his initiative today of restoring peace in Basanti at the last moment. n sns
