Mamata rings final bell for CPM in Mangalkot

“The Assembly elections will not be held in 2011 as scheduled,but much,much earlier because the CPM has crossed all limits in spreading terror. What began in Nandigram and Singur,will ultimately end in Mangalkot. Mangalkot will ring the last bell for the state government,” she said amid applause at Khudrun Crossing,3 km from the violence-affected villages.

“If elections are held today,we are ready. The people of Bengal are ready to oust the CPM,” added Banerjee.

In an interesting turn to her party’s stand,Banerjee praised a slain CPM leader,Falguni Banerjee,whose murder had sparked off political unrest in the district a couple of months ago. “I pray for Falgunibabu’s soul. As the chief executive officer of Zilla Parishad’s electricity department,he exposed that transformers were stolen. Since he was the whistle blower in the CPM,a section of CPM cadres killed him,” said Banerjee. She also demand a CBI probe into the incident.

The CPM district committee and Burdwan Zilla parishad leader,Falguni Banerjee,was killed in the second week of June. Following his death clashes broke out in Mangalkot and other areas in Burdwan.

Recently police had lathicharged a Trinamool rally in the area,leading the railway minister to claim that the police were hand in gloves with CPM goons.

Today however,Banerjee restrained her followers from violating the Section 144 imposed in the villages.

“We will not visit the villages now. I urge all our followers not to try and march towards the villages. We do not want to fall into the trap of the administration. For how many days can they keep on imposing Section 144? I fear there are heaps of bodies in Mangalkot villages,therefore they are not allowing us to visit the area,” Banerjee added.
