Binpur (Midnapore), April 4 :    Binpur (Midnapore), April 4:  The recovery of the mutilated bodies of two Jharkhand Party supporters from the Kapatkata canal yesterday has brought to light the growing factionalism in the organisation. Police said the two murdered Jharkhand Party supporters - Piru Hansda and Srimat Soren - belonged to the faction controlled by Ajit Saha and Aditya Kisku. They were once close to party legislator Naren Hansda, who died about a year ago. Chunibala Hansda, Hansda's wife, won the Binpur Assembly byelections after her husband's death and also held the post of party president. However, few in the party are willing to support her as the president. The trouble began when other Jharkhand Party leaders such as Babu Bose, Liyakat Ali, Ajit Saha and Aditya Kisku aspired to become legislators and hold key party posts. This led to the formation of different factions in the party with Chunibala and her associates forming one group. Babu-Liyakat formed the second and Ajit-Aditya developed the third. The rivalry among the factions is so intense that each group, instead of fighting the CPM - their main rival in the Jhargram subdivision - are now busy fighting each other. The two Jharkhand Party supporters were killed during an armed conflict between the Babu-Liakat and Ajit-Aditya groups, a senior police official said. Soon after their bodies were found, the Babu-Liakat faction called a 24-hour bandh in the Jhargram subdivision yesterday to gauge public support. The bandh was, however, partial, police said. The Congress has forged an alliance with Chunibala at Binpur. Chunibala met Kamal Nath, AICC general secretary in charge of Bengal, in Calcutta on Monday. For the Jhargram seat, Babu Bose has declared himself as the party's candidate without waiting for Chunibala's approval. The party president is likely to expel him. However, wall writings have appeared in Jhargram which say that Babu Bose is the Jharkhand Party candidate.
