CPM-Cong joint panel sweeps Bar election: Pijush breathes fire against BJP

AGARTALA:

The CPM-Cong joint panel has won 12 out of 15 posts in the Bar Association elections including all the important positions such as president and vice president. The newly formed forum named “Save Constitution forum” ahead of the polls in order to give the polls a shape of one on one battle, ultimately brought success for the panels.

As per the returning officer of the polls senior advocate Sandip Datta Chowdhury, altogether 3 booths have been set up in the bar association office for the polls. “Altogether 408 voters have exercised their franchise during the polls to elect the working committee of the bar which will remain valid till 2021” he said.

The polls were started on 9:15 am and the polling booths were closed on 1:45 pm. The poll process, reportedly, delayed by 15 minutes for the general elections. Counting of the ballots begun from 3 pm and the results were declared on 9:00 pm.

After the victory, state Congress president and veteran lawyer Pijush Biswas claimed that BJP was only responsible for its debacle in the bar elections. He also alleged that the outcome of the polls was the outburst of the resentment brewing among the entire lawyer fraternity.

“Entire lawyer fraternity has resented the policies of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. Merit has been undermined in the way, public prosecutors, Assistant Public Prosecutors and government advocates have been empanelled under this regime. This has led to serious resentment among the practicing lawyers of the state and a befitting answer is given in this polls,” Biswas pointed out.

Biswas also claimed before media that the people from BJP legal cell cast their votes in favor of the joint panel in an apparent bid to give a fitting reply to the government.
