Hundreds of posters accusing the district Trinamool Congress president and MLA Abdur Rahim Boxi of corruption and other charges were found plastered at the Trinamul party office at Malatipur in Chanchal-II block in Malda on Sunday morning.

Boxi’s supporters immediately removed those posters and claimed some party activists instigated by political rivals were behind this incident.

Many in the TMC have been training their guns at Boxi’s leadership in Malda for the past few days following a miserable electoral performance by the party in the two Malda Lok Sabha seats.

In Malda North, the BJP defeated the TMC by a margin of 77,000 votes. In Malda South TMC ended in the third position after the Congress and the BJP.

Mausam Noor, a Rajya Sabha MP of the Trinamool and former district party president, too, said that the district president could not escape responsibility.

"The party has got an emphatic victory in other seats but in Malda the results are so frustrating. Only three years ago, when I was the district party president, Trinamool had won eight out of 12 assembly segments in Malda. The sitting district president cannot escape responsibility for this deplorable performance,” said Noor.

The Rajya Sabha MP further added that she too would submit a report to the party’s top leadership on the “hopeless performance”.

For the last few days, a flurry of messages against Boxi and his team flooded social media, holding them responsible for the TMC’s electoral disaster in Malda.

On Sunday, the dissatisfaction came out in public.

Boxi did not respond when called by this newspaper. District Trinamool chairman Samar Mukherjee refused comment.

Trinamool sources said that Boxi might be replaced as district president soon.
