statement issued by BJP National Secretary, Shri Sidharth Nath Singh
West Bengal civic polls have created a history of
being the most undemocratic elections conducted by the State Election
Commission. Violence, intimidation, voter trauma, terrorization of opposition
candidates, bullets, deaths and crude bombs have been the hallmark of
these elections spread over 91 municipalities and Kolkata Municipal
Corporations. It is said that those who win
don’t cheat and those who loose cheat. The ruling party that
had claimed of winning these polls adopted all undemocratic means to
secure the win.
The State Election Commission gave the classic book
example of how the loser’s cheat. After the KMC polls on 18th April evening
the SEC announced of 62% polling. After 48 hours the polling percentage
changed to 68% as per the official announcement of SEC. This meant that
40 odd wards must have been rigged. If one extrapolates these 6% increase
then TMC that is claiming to have got 114 seats in KMC would be down
to 74. Moreover if other undemocratic means were excluded then certainly
TMC would have been below half way mark in 144 wards KMC.
Rigged elections cannot be any yardstick of popular
mood. However even then one can see that BJP in comparison from last
civic polls have increased their over all tally from 16 to 81. Earlier
BJP could win only in 9 municipal areas and currently have increased
their footprints to 35 municipal areas.
These polls have certainly given a loud and clear
message that there cannot be any free and fair elections under TMC govt
because they certainly beat Laloo’s Jungle Raj.
