Calcutta, March 11: RSP minister Kshiti Goswami’s daughter Kasturi has gone to police, accusing SFI supporters of preventing her from filing nomination for her college polls.

The South Calcutta Law College student alleged that the queue for nomination forms was crammed with supporters of the CPM students’ wing this morning so that Opposition candidates could not make it to the counter at all. “They kept pushing in their people into the queue. By the time we reached the counter, it was past 10. The principal refused to hear us out,” Kasturi said.

With no opposition member filing nomination, SFI won the 18 seats uncontested.

SFI supporters were accused of pushing Kasturi and her two comrades — of the RSP’s Progressive Students’ Union — against a wall.

The SFI, too, lodged a police complaint, accusing Kasturi of creating trouble on the campus.

Kasturi’s father, PWD minister Kshiti, has been a bitter critic of the CPM of late, though he continues to be part of the CPM-led government.
