National News Service, Kolkata, 27 April 2006: The third phase of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly Election was held today the 27th April 2006. The main proponents of the CPI(M) vote manipulation such as Rabin Deb, Subhas Chakraborty, Rajdeo Goala, Kanti Ganguly, Manab Mukherjee etc. were in the fray today.
The main feature of this year was that the Election Commission (EC) has made the State Police machinery redundant and established that they were biased and could not be relied upon. The people standing in the queue for long periods in the blistering sun were overjoyed, that after many years, they were able to cast their votes without fear.
What initially appeared to be a slap in the face of the Left Front is turning out to be a knock out punch. The cockiness and do not care attitude of the CPI (M) leaders is fading away, and one sees a hint of fear in their eyes.
At about 2:30 PM the voter turnout was 25%. There were very few incidents and whenever one took place the Central Forces reacted immediately.

"In economic life there is extreme inequality and exploitation. Although colonialism no longer exists openly in the political and economic sphere, still it persists indirectly, and this should not be tolerated... In this respect you should remember that in economic life, we will have to guarantee the minimum requirements of life to one and all... There cannot be any sort of adjustment as far as this point is concerned. The minimum purchasing requirement must be guaranteed to all. Today these fundamental essentialities are not being guaranteed. Rather, people are being guided by deceptive economic ideas like outdated Marxism, which has proven ineffective in practical life and has not been successfully implemented in any corner of the world. Why do people still believe in such a theory, which has never been proved successful? The time has come for people to make a proper assessment of whether they are being misguided or not." |

"Human beings have still not been able to form a human society, and have still not learned to move with the spirit of a pilgrim. Although many small groups, motivated by self-interest, work together in particular situations, not even a small fraction of their work is done with a broader social motive. By strict definition, shall we have to declare that each small family unit is a society in itself? If going ahead in mutual adjustment only out of narrow self-interest or momentary self-seeking is called society, then in such a society, no provision can be made for the disabled, the diseased or the helpless, because in most cases nobody can benefit from them in any way... in that case there always remains the possibility of some people getting isolated from the collective. All human beings must attach themselves to others by the common bond of love and march forward hand in hand; then only will I proclaim it a society." |
