RAIGANJ, March 10: West Bengal Socialist Party has decided to demand more seats in north Dinajpur district in panchayt polls this year. If the Left Front fails to fulfill their demands they will fight alone for which they have started to consolidate their position in north Dinajpur district.
It seemed to the members of West Bengal Socialist party of north Dinajpur district committee that Left Front may not pay heed to their demands so they have started a booth wise survey in the district.
In last two days the state secretary of West Bengal Socialist party and state fishery minister Mr Kiranmay Nanda conducted booth wise survey in different villages of Raiganj, Hemtabad, Itahar and Kaliyaganj and reportedly, suggested the members to prepare the ground for lonely fight for coming panchayat poll.
This morning while speaking to the media persons Mr Nanda said: “Last year the Left Front committee wanted to offer us only those seats where Congress was very strong. So we did not accept their proposal and we had to fight alone and our nine gram panchayat nominees won. Two of them were made upapradhan. In last five years our strength has doubled in the district.
“So we will demand some selected seats this year. If Left Front fails to offer us the same we will fight alone from there. If congress gets benefit we will have nothing to do. In last five years we have changed the socio-economic scenario of the villages of north Dinajpur after introducing vast pisciculture.
Numerous villagers have been made a part of the income generating scheme. Apart from north Dinajpur, in all the districts of the state we are preparing to fight alone in panchayat poll. Our district leaders have instructed to identify the places where our ogranisation is very strong. Our candidates will contest only from such places, added Mr Nanda.
