Sonachur:
Two years ago, on 14 March, 2007, 14 people died in police firing when villagers were protesting acquisition of farm land for a chemical hub in Nandigram.
Today, however, Lakshman Seth, CPM candidate for Tamluk, which includes Nandigram, who was the man who triggered the trouble at Nandigram by issuing a land acquisition notice apparently without the government's nod, believes Nandigram is not a central electoral issue.
But Trinamool's Subhendu Adhikari says that is simply wishful thinking.
When Nandigram goes to vote, it will certainly remember the victims who died in the police firing.
The big question is how many other voters in Tamluk and the rest of Bengal will remember them when their fingers are hovering over the EVM button.
