Why the Panchayat Voting Date in WB is fixed on Ratha Yatra?

published on May 17, 2013

KOLKATA | 17 May 2013:: Though there are differences at a meeting on Thursday between the State Election Commission (SEC) and the West Bengal government over fixing dates for the three-tier panchayat elections after the Calcutta High Court’s direction that the two mutually agree on it, the dates for panchayat election in West Bengal is tentatively fixed for 2nd, 6th and 10th July of 2013. Counting will be on 13th July as the news touched in the headlines of all leading Bengali News papers today.

A big conspiracy against Bengali Hindus has been hatched against the Bengali Hindu voters by fixing this voting schedule. And anti Hindu Mamata Banerjee Govt. is doing all such nefarious work against Hindus from the beginning.

Holy Ratha Yatra Festival falls on 10th July this year and Bengali Hindu devotees and the Hindu mass in general will be engaged in that day with their festival and ‘Dharmik Krutya‘ (religious activities) of Ratha Yatra.  Fixing this date as one of the elections dates, the pro Muslim Politics in Bengal wants to deter the Hindu Voting  in the process of Panchayat Election.

Apprehending a Hindu backlash for the rampant Muslim appeasement, the ruling Trinmool Congress Govt. is also trying to resist the anti-TMC voting in this election by fixing a day of Hindu festival, when Hindus will be engaged in their festivity and they will be not be able to cast their votes in the last phase of ensuing panchayat election as it scheduled so far.

It is surprising that  Smt. Mira Pandey, The Chief Election Officer of West Bengal, Smt. Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, all other political parties including BJP, all together are indulging in such a matter, that amounts a gross violation of Human Rights also, as the voting rights of Hindus are being snatched away  by a very subtle way though too much conspicuous.

In this situation, all Hindu Organisations in Bengal including Bhatat Sevashram Sangha, Ramakrishna Mission, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Hindu Samhati, Hindu Jagran Manch, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti must register their protest for not to fix a polling day in  Hindu festival like Ratha Yatra, when Hindus will be busy for their religious reasons.

More than Two Lakhs Hindu people every year reach Puri Jagannath Dham Ratha Yatra from West Bengal in normal course. They will loose their voting rights in this panchayat election, if the date is not changed from 10th July.

Can you imagine that a voting date is ever fixed on Id-ul-Fitr, Id-ul-Zoha or 25th December?

What is going on against the Bengali Hindus in West Bengal?

Change the date of 10th July (Ratha Yatra) to fix another date for panchayet voting Schedule.
