WB Panchayat Polls: Mamata faces charge of onslaught on Opposition

WB Panchayat Polls: Mamata faces charge of onslaught on Opposition

By Apurba Dasgupta
New Delhi/ Kolkata, Apr 9 (UNI) History repeats itself, Accusation of preventing the Opposition from filing of nominations was a 'key-factor' in Bengal politics before the 'Pariborton' in 2011 state Assembly elections, but it remains the same ahead of the Panchayat polls with a query -- whether the scenario is a premonition of another 'change' in the corridor of powers or the state is apathetic towards the Opposition's role in the country's democratic system.
Unabated violence in the run-up to the three-tier Panchayat elections, beginning May 1, no longer remains a one-party affair as BJP, CPI(M) and the Congress activists are mounting joint fight against the ruling Trinamool Congress across several districts, namely Birbhum, South Dinajpur, West Dinajpur and some other districts claiming lives and leaving scores injured.
