DEPLOY ECI - MANDATED PROTECTION FOR LEADERS STEPHEN DIAS DONA PAULA 9422443110
In light of the fact that the motorcade of TMC Supremo Mamata Banerjee was intimidated by disgruntled elements as also that the posters and advertisements of the TMC was defaced and blackened, it would in the fitness of things that matters relating to elections should be supervised by a specially constituted police force that has to be formed and deployed by the Election Commission of India so as to prevent such occurrences from happening again. It may be stressed that the police force deployed to protect the motorcade of Mamata Banerjee was a mute spectator and did not take action to stop the rowdy elements from intimidating the TMC leader. The Election Commission of India has to ensure that election related rallies and meetings are given unbiased protection. Such happenings should not disrupt poll related campaigns by various parties in Goa. There should be a level playing field for all the parties and no favouritsm should be meted out to the party in power. On 1st Nov at 11 hrs the Corporation of the City of Panjim workers were seen removing poll related advertisement of all the parties at Miramar - Dona Paula road. This is not the right thing to do as it is a discrimination to the new parties aspiring to do well in the election. Stephen Dias
