Going by what the West Bengal GuvC V Ananda Bise, observed that Victory in elections should depend on the count of votes, not the count of dead bodies, , who visited the violence-torn Bhangar in South 24 Parganas district on Friday.
” Shocked to hear that the death toll in pre-election in Bengal is increasing. It is revolting that the media is also under attack by the hooligans, ” Bose said in a statement.
” Victory in Elections should depend on the count of votes, not the count of dead bodies, ” he added.
” At any cost, violence will be eradicated and made the first casualty of this Panchayat Elections. No one, howsoever high & mighty they fancy themselves to be, will be allowed to take the law in their hands, ” the Governor stated.
Bhangar was on boil on Thursday over filing of nominations for the three-tier Panchayat election.
They are words those can be dubbed as rational and ethical.
But can someone remind the His excellency of WB that, the same yardstick applies to other states and the election also.
Be it an unholy alliance of interest or fatal failure of prudence, the deaths in Morbi suspension bridge was also a colossal lapse by the State concerned but that did not reflect in the elections. 135 people dead in a moment and no one was bothered to know that preceded such a catastrophe.
Probes still linger and someone gets booked and spend some days or months in a jail and that is all.
That was, in essence, was a kind of cold-blooded murder of 135 which included over 45 children.
So playing a teacher of in politics is like showing a mirror to a blind man. Votes can be manipulated but deaths are not .
