Jyotirmoy Ghosh SHASHOK NA BIRODHI POKKHYA KONTA ??????????????? Boycott & revenge As an Opposition leader, Mamata Banerjee would almost invariably make it a point to boycott all-party meetings. As the head of the ruling party, she fares no better. As much was evident from Saturday’s boycott of another such meeting, convened by the State Election Commission prior to the first round of the panchayat elections. Chiefly, to discuss whether the voting hours for the five phases could be rescheduled on account of Ramzan. In the event, the Chief Minister has conveyed the impression that she is keen on sustaining the puerile conflict of egos that Bengal has witnessed for more than three months. The Trinamul boycott of the meeting is, in the net, a mockery of the certitudes of democratic engagement. Miss Banerjee has given the CPI-M and the Congress a readymade handle to counter her campaign, however lacklustre thus far. There is a vengeful streak too in her threat, robustly articulated at a public meeting, that she will take what she calls “democratic revenge” against the SEC for the recent developments ~ elections during the month of Ramzan, the five-phase schedule, and the deployment of Central forces. Her attempt to expand the SEC to a three-member entity has been struck down by her key bureaucrats on the ground that the Constitution provides for a commissioner. The singular cannot be made plural through a stroke of the chief ministerial pen. Sad to say, Miss Banerjee has tripped on the fundamentals. Pre-eminently, it was the Supreme Court ~ and not the SEC ~ that eventually took the call and decreed the election schedule. On a parity of reasoning, she appears to be in a vengeful mood against the judiciary. Therefore, the posturing, amplified through the tannoy at a public meeting, reeks of contempt. The party’s reservations on the counting date, 29 July, seem contrived in the absence of any convincing argument. By boycotting the all-party meeting, Trinamul has behaved like an Opposition party, rather than a party that runs the government. No, Chief Minister, this isn’t the language ~ “democratic revenge’’ ~ or attitude that behoves the leader of the ruling party and head of government Ajker The Statesman er eai editorial ti bina montaboo e post korlam.
