Comrade Subrata Gauri, Kolkata District Secretary, SUCI(C), issued a statement on 19 December 2021, saying that the Kolkata Municipality election held on date could in no way be called free and fair. The ruling TMC completely rigged it by booth capturing and muscle flexing with the state government in tow, just like what the CPI (M) used to do when it was in power and the way the BJP captured the Tripura municipality a month back. SUCI(C) is of the firm opinion that whichever parliamentarian party irrespective of hue comes to power in the municipality, the basic civic problems faced by the citizens would not be solved. Remedy can only be under pressure of united organized people’s movement.
Kolkata Municipality Election held in a farcical manner
