BADARPUR, July 20 – While the Karimganj district administration has completed all the formalities in connection with the July 31 civic polls to be held at Karimganj and Badarpur towns, campaigning by the political parties has reached a crescendo.
Civic poll candidates and members of political parties are using all the tricks of the trade to lure voters in a bid to capture power in the municipal bodies. Obviously, each and every corner of Badarpur town is busy with political activity.
Not surprisingly, both the Congress and BJP candidates are hopeful of winning the civic polls by comfortable margins. Dipak Dev (BJP) of Badarpur exuded confidence that the voters were aware of his party’s immense contributions. Hence, the four BJP candidates were sure to register convincing wins.
He claimed that the local citizens were highly satisfied with the functioning of the BJP-led Badarpur Town Committee insofar as overall development was concerned. No major achievement was possible during the BTC tenure, he clarified. Rs 96 lakh sanctioned by the Government for undertaking welfare works in Badarpur town had not reached the proper authority on time, he claimed.
The BJP was therefore duty-bound to complete all the unfinished welfare works after being returned this time, Dipak Dev stated. It may be mentioned that the BJP had retained power for 15 long years, i.e., by winning three times.
On the other hand, the general secretary of Badarpur Town Mandal Congress Committee, Paritosh Chandra Ghosh justified that the local residents were disgusted with the activities of the BJP-led Badarpur Town Committee, which he claimed had done nothing for the taxpayers over the years.
In the meantime, the police and district administration were leaving no stone un-turned to ensure a free and fair civic poll on July 31. In order to avoid any untoward incident, additional security forces had already been deployed, both in Karimganj and Badarpur towns. Source: Assam Tribune
