TMC to pick candidates for panchayat polls through secret ballot

Hindustan Times  

West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress will begin selecting from next week over 73000 candidates for the three-tier panchayat election through a secret ballot over two months. Abhishek Banerjee, TMC’s national general secretary, said this was being done for the first time in the country and will help cleanse the party at the grassroots level. “Their opinions would supersede the suggestions we have got.” Banerjee will travel across the state months after TMC launched another outreach involving 350 state and district-level leaders in January this year. Political experts said the party is trying to project Banerjee as a mass leader ahead of the panchayat and the national polls next year. But there are provisions that they may be formed even after that.” Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party leader Samik Bhattacharya hit out at the TMC for delaying the polls as it has lost the people’s support.
