MALDA, Nov 2: The Malda CPI-M is contemplating an alternative political programme for chief minister Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on 16 November in case the CM is barred from laying the foundation stone for University of Gour Banga due to imposition of model code of conduct for the Assembly by-election in Sujapur.
Both the district administrative officials and the CPI-M leaders are expecting that the notification for by-election in Sujapur Assembly constituency would be announced before 16 November. The district officials are reported to have been informed yesterday by the election office in Kolkata that the by-election notification might be issued any day after 10 November.
As per the model code of conduct, once the by-election notification is issued no official inauguration can take place.
Meanwhile, the chief minister is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for the upcoming University of Gour Banga in English Bazaar on 16 November. Apart from this, the CM is scheduled to address the state conference of the WEBCUTA (West Bengal College and University Teachers’ Association) in Malda College during his proposed two-day Malda visit. According to the district officials, the CM could attend the state conference of WEBCUTA. “It is principally a political programme,” the sources said.
The CPI-M's district secretary Mr Jiban Moitra today said the party was contemplating alternative programmes for the CM in view of the possible postponement of the university foundation programme “Mr Bhattacharjee may be invited to attend another political programme on the same day. The programme would be worked out in time,” he said.
The foundation stone laying ceremony for the upcoming university had been postponed earlier due to notification of Kharba by-elections in Malda.
