The Trinamul Congress-BJP combine is striking to spread terror in West Bengal before the elections. Left Front workers are being Kargil BabaC.JPG (15695 bytes)attackes everywhere. The State CPI(M) has documented these atrocities and is in the process of sending them to the state administration and Election Commission. State Party Secretary Anil Biswas said that at Khanakul in Hooghly district, the Trinamool-BJP workers had enleashed a wave of terror for 10 days. Shops have been looked and Left rallies have been attacked. At least 50 party workers have been injured in these attacks. The assaitants have also resorted to arson in Bankura district. The BJP leader Tapan Sikdar has pronoked people at his rallies. A CPI(M) worker has been killed in Midnapore. On August 30, more than 30 houses of CPI(M) supporters were set on fire. In Calcutta itself, a party rally was attacked at Kasba. The plot is to disengage the CPI(M) from positive election campaigning amd spoil the democratic fabric of the State.

Biswas said that everything hinged on the attitude of the Trinamul-BJP on election day. " The Trinamul gameplan is obuious from its election manifesto. Otherwise, how could they speak of overrunning our party office. Are they under the impression that me will look the other way if they attack our office? But me will not be prooked. But our restraint should not be taken as weakness, "Mr. Biswas said.

He said that while maintaining law and order was the job of the police, a lot depended on the political parties. In this contact, he mentioned the killing of an innocent woman near Mamata Banerjee residence recently who was caught in the crossfire when two warring gangas led by the leader's two brothers clashed; "Can she shirk responsibility?" Mr. Bisws asked.

Referring to a poll graffiti issued in the name of the Trinamul Congress which centred aromd Kargil and the war effort, Mr.Biswas said that this was a clear plouting of the Election Commission north that the war should no be used for election propaganda.

The CPI(M) leader also said that the Trinamul had issued graffiti in Jadavpur constituency directly litting the CPI(M) candidate Kanti Ganguly which was tasteless. "Their campaign posmes are not only communal but entirely personalised. We have documented all ther and petioned the Election Commission," he said.
