CPI(M) seeks repoll in 3 sub-divisions of Darjeeling LS seat
Press Trust Of India / New Delhi May 01, 2009, 16:27 IST
CPI(M) today sought intervention of the Election Commission to ensure repoll in three hill sub-divisions of Darjeeling Lok Sabha constituency alleging that BJP and Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) workers violated democratic norms.
In a letter to the Commission, CPI(M) Politburo member Brinda Karat said there was a "serious" complaint on subversion of democratic rights by BJP and GJM workers in three hill sub-divisions of the constituency in West Bengal.
"Shockingly, the complaint includes the connivance of certain presiding officers as well as the strange inaccessibility of observers when their intervention was required," she said.
She said it was "serious enough to warrant intervention from the Election Commission. I do hope you will intervene to take the appropriate action to ensure re-poll in the affected segments of the constituency".
the cpim and all associated parties are a joke! now they are demanding repoll in areas where the turnout is nearly 80%.
the communists are a shame to India and to the poor people they say they represent. if so, why are the communist states so low on the development index. in fact, there are more self serving sycophants in the politburo than in the congress!
what the cpim in bengal needs is more policing in siliguri and not turn a blind eye to bangladeshi immigrants changing the socio-demographics in the adjoining areas. while they are at it, they should also start reining in goons, criminals and murderous party cadre.
send the lot to china, i say. it's proven communists support china more than india in any case, masters of doublespeak and propaganda as they are.
