Cong delay in N Malda vexes supporters

MALDA, March 17: The Congress is yet to declare its candidate for the North Malda constituency, much to the chagrin of Congress supporters in Malda. The CPI-M is already into the second week of its poll campaign.

Attending several meetings organised by Left Front partners ~ the RSP, FB and CPI-M ~ particularly in Dhulian under Samserganj Assembly constituency, the Left Front candidate Dr Abdur Razaaque expressed happiness with the people's response to him.

According to Dr Razaaque, the two Assembly segments in Jangipur Parliamentary constituency, from where Mr Pranab Mukherjee was elected before the delimitation process, continue to remain underdeveloped despite returning one of the most powerful ministers of the UPA government.

Crestfallen due to the absence of a candidate until now, Congress supporters are pinning their hopes on the South Malda Congress candidate and outgoing MP Mr AH Khan Choudhury, who will reportedly launch his campaign in South Malda soon. n SNS
