Kalimpong CPRM wants own LS candidate
The
Kalimpong town committee of the CPRM feels the party should field its
own candidate in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls instead of extending
support to another party. Twelve members of the town committee today
held a meeting and came up with this decision.
CPRM leader Sudan Pradhan said the town committee is aware of the fact that everyone is curious about the party’s stance and now the decision has been made to demand the high command for a candidate from within the party rank.
He added the town committee will soon be dispatching letters to the CPRM central committee, Kalimpong sub-divisional committee and the party’s election committee intimating them about the town committee’s resolution.
“The CPRM has remained resolute with the demand for a separate state since 1999 and we want to field our own candidate this time. We will intensify activities for statehood achievement after this,” the town leader asserted.
The CPRM town committee is currently focused on anti-corruption movements. Its members along with those of the sub-divisional committee are scheduled to meet the BDO next week. Pradhan alleged rampant corruption is taking place in the ongoing MGNREGS schemes in the hills. He said party representatives will meet the BDO and bring to notice the problems being faced by the common people when dealing with the 100 days work scheme. (EOIC)
