MALDA, MAY 28:The swearing in of half a dosen Trinamul MPs, into the UPA ministry today, has sent the Congress leadership in Malda on a sulk.
“The Trinamul rode the Congress wave to win 19 seats and has been awarded with half a dozen ministers, while the Congress got just one in West Bengal. It is disappointing”, said Mr. Krishnendu Choudhury, Congress MLA, English Bazaar.
The upset tone is prevailing in the Congress, here. Sharing the MLA’s view, the Malda district Congress, Vice President, Mr. Masudur Rahman said: “We are upset. I am watching the swearing in ceremony on TV, but till now not a single Muslim woman has been inducted in the Cabinet and no MP from north Bengal either”.
“This would make our position uncomfortable before the 2011 Assembly elections”.
“The Congress high command, should consider at least one ministerial berth from north Bengal. Malda is in the Congress belt, but neither the elected Mr. A H Khan Choudhury nor Ms Mausam Noor, were induected in the ministry”.
“According to our information, Ms. Noor was a major contender, but she too has been ignored in the final count”, Mr. Rahaman added.
According to a section of Congress leadership in Malda , some Congress MPs were against Ms Noor’s elevation , as they were favouring berths for the seniors. SNS
