Calcutta, June 13 :     Both the Congress and the CPM have fielded candidates named Javed so that those who would like to vote in favour of Javed Ahmed Khan, Trinamul Congress councillor at Topsia in ward 66, get confused. The former's opponents are both named Mohammad Javed and their symbols are the 'scale' and 'two leaves.' Both Congress and CPM have apparently taken a leaf out of Ajit Panja's book, who, in the last Lok Sabha election, had fielded an Independent candidate, whose namesake is CPM's Mohammad Salim, in the North East parliamentary constituency. Javed Ahmed Khan has been compelled to change his campaign strategy. Instead of wall writing and posters, he has started an extensive door-to-door campaign to familiarise the people with his symbol - blades of grass and a pair of flowers. There are 60,000 voters in ward 66 and Javed Khan won the last civic poll by a margin of 1100. The CPM has targeted this ward, as the fate of the Ballygunge Assembly constituency, where an election is scheduled to be held by December, is largely dependent on it. Javed Khan has a mind of his own and he will certainly try to get an assembly ticket if he wins the CMC polls. Hence, besides planting dummies who share his name as Independent candidates, two attempts have already been made on Javed Khan's life during the past three weeks. On May 16, supporters of Ishtehaq Ahmed, CPM candidate for the ward, allegedly made an unsuccessful attempt to shoot him. Again, on June 6, a loaded truck tried to crush Javed's car. Javed himself was driving the car. Later, only a minor case was registered and to date, police have not recorded his statement. Now, two private armed bodyguards keep a vigil in front of his office. Trinamul councillors and chief whip of the party in the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC), Mala Roy and Ruby Datta, respectively, said the CPM resorted to violence in some pockets and this would escalate as the election came closer. At least two important mayor-in-council members fear there could be an outbreak of violence on election day. Leaders of both the CPM and the Trinamul do not rule out violence in the city core area during election as false votes are the deciding factor in the 100 wards (Wards 1 to 100) of the city. According to veteran CPM leaders, some of whom are mayor-in-council members in the CMC, only 20 per cent of bona fide voters cast their votes in the 100 wards. Following the Panskura debacle, the ruling CPM will leave no room for chance in the civic poll. The elated Trinamul, on the other hand, will try its best to wrest the civic board. So, both parties will try to grab as many of the 80 per cent absentee votes as possible.
