EC rejects TMC's suggestion, rules out clubbing last 3 phases of Bengal polls

India Today  

The Election Commission of India has rejected a suggestion given by the Trinamool Congress and ruled out the possibility of clubbing the remaining three phases of the West Bengal Assembly election. In a petition to the Election Commission, the Trinamool Congress had suggested the poll panel to club the remaining three phases and hold polling at one go due to the prevailing Covid-19 situation. The party argued that the Commission must ensure that the righto campaign that was enjoyed by candidates in the first five phases must also be enjoyed by the candidates of the remaining three phases. In its response to the TMC's letter, the Election Commission said accepting its suggestion of clubbing the remaining three phases is "not feasible".
