The Jalpaiguri district Congress Polling Meeting

The Jalpaiguri district Congress president, Mr Biswa Ranjan Sarkar, said today that his party is chalking out massive campaigning programmes against the CPI-M following last Thursday's political clash with CPI-M activists in Alipurduar.

According to Mr Sarkar, the CPI-M leaders appear hell bent on fomenting political turmoil in Alipurduar as well as in the entire district ahead of the Parliamentary election due early next year. “The CPI-M leaders have started exposing their fangs in the wake of the humiliating defeat at last year's Alipurduar college union election and also in the panchayat and municipality election. They seem determined to capture the Alipurduar college union this year. They are taking recourse to hooliganism as part of a premeditated plan to take revenge of last year's debacle, Mr Sarkar said.

He further said that his party would launch political programmes to expose the sinister acts of the CPI-M.

“The Chatra Parishad activists would launch agitation tomorrow and a roadblock may be staged on Thursday as a revenge against the recent clash in Alipurduar in which a number of political workers were beaten by the CPI-M goons,” he said.
