KOLKATA: The State Election Commission has introduced repoll in two of the entire 573 polling cubicles that went to re-polls on Wednesday, leading to a “repoll of re-polls” infrequently witnessed in the state’s electoral historical past. Miscreants had snatched poll papers in those two cubicles coming below the Fulbari gram panchayat of Jalpaiguri’s Rajganj. They will move to re-polls on Sunday and results shall be introduced on Monday.
The ruling Trinamool till the last depending on Friday won an absolute majority in as many as 10 zilla parishads (one zilla parishad in one district) of the entire 20 zilla parishads — North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, East Burdwan, West Burdwan, East Midnapore, West Midnapore, Bankura, Hooghly, Jalpaiguri and South Dinajpur — the place the Opposition couldn’t win a single zilla parishad seat. These are with the exception of the Birbhum zilla parishad the place Trinamool candidates had received uncontested in all the 42 seats. But the effects had been withheld following directions from the Supreme Court that may take up the matter for listening to on July three.
The ballot panel is yet to announce the leads to as many 314 gram panchayat seats and 95 panchayat samiti seats. “Counting in those seats are whole. But there are some formalities that we need to end prior to handing over of certificates to the winners on Monday,” an legit said.
The fee’s re-poll choice has failed to impress the Opposition that were complaining for the reason that beginning of the electoral procedure — from the day of nomination to the ruling birthday party’s violence in counting centres. “This is not anything to the size of violence in the state rural polls. What the Trinamool miscreants did at Nadia’s Majdia counting centre on Thursday is on record. Nadia isn't any exception. I were given a message from our birthday party staff yesterday night time that our counting agents are being pushed out of the centres right through the counting of zilla parishad votes. Trinamool MP Arpita Ghosh reached a counting centre at Balurghat to manipulate the counting in Trinamool’s favour. All the Trinamool MLAs and MPs were advised by the Trinamool leader to achieve the counting centres. Otherwise, how can it be that BJP candidates who received gram panchayat and panchayat samiti seats couldn’t win the zilla parishad seats in some areas?” said state BJP president Dilip Ghosh.
Trinamool general secretary Partha Chatterjee didn’t respond to the BJP allegations. “Development work was stalled for the last 40 days. Now it is time to do work,” Chatterjee said.
What has struck the Opposition is that the state election fee didn’t order a repoll in Nadia’s Majdia counting centre when the malpractice was in public view. “There were efforts to stamp poll papers. We have addressed the issue,” state election commissioner Amarendra Singh said on Friday.
Meanwhile, space of a BJP candidate was set on fireplace in Sonarpur. The BJP state president complained that the homes of BJP activists had been attacked at Ganagasagar and Patharpratima too.
