MALDA, March 26: The contesting candidate for South Malda Parliamentary constituency and current Malda Congress MP Mr AH Khan Choudhury is under pressure. He is trying hard to maintain unity among Congress workers in his parliamentary segments in the hope of reaching the people before the elections.
A section of Congress leaders have expressed unhappiness over his long absence from parts of his parliamentary constituency over the last few months.
The English Bazaar MLA Mr Krishnendu Choudhury criticised the attitude of the Malda MP at a closed-door meeting at the party office yesterday morning.
In the presence of nearly one hundred Congress leaders, the English Bazaar MLA pointed out his faults just before the parliamentary elections.
Mr Khan Choudhury, who is also the district Congress president, finally called the English Bazaar MLA last evening to sort out the problem in a friendly manner and formulate strategies to win the seat. The meeting lasted for over an hour last night.
Mr Choudhury said: “I told him that he did not give enough time to many parts of his constituency and did not pay attention to Congress workers and meet their demands and problems.
“I specifically mentioned that hundreds of Congress workers have been disheartened. Local youths were unhappy over the allotment of funds from his MPLAD. The funds have been misused due to the interference of the middle men he appointed,” he said.
“I raised some issues in the English Bazaar Parliamentary segment, which is now under the South Malda parliamentary constituency, and tried to alert the Malda MP before his election campaigning began,” Mr Choudhury added. n sns
