Trinamul's minder for Kalimpong Mohan Sharma held a closed door
meeting with representatives of various development boards here today
and assigned them with responsibilities of different wards.
Even though Sharma denied holding meeting with the board
representatives, reliable sources confirmed that he had sat with them in
the office of the Tamang Development Board.
Sharma has been camping in Kalimpong since the middle of last month and is micro-managing Trinamul's election campaign.
"Today's meeting was called to specifically involve the board
representatives in the campaigning. We have a community-wise break-up of
voters of all 23 wards, and board representatives were given
responsibility of galvanising members of their respective communities,"
said a source.
Citing an example, the source said since members of the
Hindi-speaking community were in large in ward 1, representatives of the
minority development board have been given the responsibility of
ensuring the victory of the Trinamul candidate there.
"Similarly, we have given the responsibility of managing wards to
different boards depending on the voters profile. The representatives of
the boards have been told very clearly that they have to ensure the
victory of our candidate in wards where their communities are in a
majority," said the source.
Sharma, however, denied holding a meeting with the board
representatives. "No. We didn't hold any meeting with boards. Since we
could not find a suitable venue, we requested the Tamang Board to give
its office and held our meeting. The meeting was attended by Trinamul
workers," he claimed.
The Trinamul leader said he was confident that the people of Kalimpong would give Trinamul a chance this time.(TT)
