In spite of letter and reminders by the C.P.I. (M), Damodar Ajoy Zonal Committee, Burdwan, West Bengal, the Election Commission of India is mysteriously silent on the gross violation of Model Code of Conduct made by TMC Supremo Smt. Mamata Banerjee in a meeting held at Jamuria on 04-04-2009.
Miss Banerjee is above neither the Constitution of India nor the Model Code of Conduct as set by the Election Commission of India. Hence she should also be treated at par with other law breakers.
It is seen that drastic actions have been taken against many a leaders throughout the country for violation of the Model Code of Conduct. But we are at a loss to understand as to why the MCC Enforcing Agency is mysteriously silent in this particular case.
In fact, Sub Clauses 2 and 3 of Clause 1 under the caption “General Conduct” as contained in the Model Code of Conduct read as follows in a clear crystal language.
“(2) Criticism of other political parties, when made, shall be confined to their policies and programme, past record and work. Parties and Candidates shall refrain from criticism of all aspects of private life, not connected with the public activities of the leaders or workers of other parties. Criticism of other parties or their workers based on unverified allegations or distortion shall be avoided.
(3) There shall be no appeal to caste or communal feelings for securing votes. Mosques, Churches, Temples or other places of worship shall not be used as forum for election propaganda.”
But it is a matter of deep regret and surprise that her criticism of Left Front and CPI (M) was not at all confined to their policies and programme, past record and work as prescribed. Showing thumb to the Election Commission of India, she resorted to criticism of our party and its leaders based on distortion of fact for denigrating them in public as well for poisoning and inciting people against them. She also indulged in appeal to caste and communal feelings for securing votes. Besides, she appealed her party workers to go on offensive resorting to all kinds of ways and means, legal or illegal, to defeat the Left Front sponsored CPI (M) candidate in this election.
In gross violation of the above mentioned provisions of MCC, she took recourse not only to abusive, provocative, inflammatory, obnoxious and hate speech against CPI (M) and its leaders but also made personal attack in the most derogatory and offensive manner against our candidate Shri Bansa Gopal Chowdhury with one and only intention of creating tension and vitiate the peaceful and cordial atmosphere prevailing in this parliamentary constituency.
One copy each of the CD to substantiate the allegation was sent to the Chief Election Commissioner of India, the Chief Electoral Officer, West Bengal, the District Election Officer, Burdwan and the Returning Officer, Asansol but without any result.
Extracts of few of her utterances made in the said meeting are quoted below.
“……..Konsho Ke Keno Apnara Bare Bare MP Koren…”
(Why do you elect Kansh MP again and again?)
“…Konsho Ke Dhangso Karoon…”
(Destroy Kansh)
(See Timing of CD: From 8 Minutes 10 Seconds to 8 Minutes 26 Seconds)
She used the word ‘Kansh’ for our candidate whose first name is Bansa. You are no doubt aware that ‘Kansh’ was the notorious maternal uncle of Lord Krishna in the Hindu mythology.
Apart from this, she used the following abhorrent language against our party and its leaders.
“..nexus between coal mafia and CPI (M)…”
“..CPI (M) leaders have amassed huge wealth for establishing sponge iron factories...”
(See Timing of CD: From 13 Minutes 51 Seconds to 14 Minutes 20 Seconds)
She did not stop here. Even, she stooped so low as to use the following most objectionable words against Shri Budhadeb Bhattacharjee, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Government of West Bengal.
“Ram Raj Mei Doodh Meeli,
Krishna Raj Mei Ghee,
Aar Buddhoraj Mei Chullu Mili,
Su Su Ke Pee”
(Milk was available in Ram Raj. Ghee was available in Krishna Raj. And Country liquor is available in the Raj of Bhuddhadeb Bhattacharjee, drink it sipping)
(See Timing of CD: From 21 minutes 21 Seconds to 21 minutes 55 seconds)

WHY ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA IS SO HESITANT TO TAKE ANY ACTION AGAINST MAMATA BANERJEE?
THE ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA IS REQUESTED AGAIN TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST MAMATA BANERJEE FOR VIOLATION OF MCC.
