Bengal BJP Writes to State EC to Conduct Pending Civic Polls at The Earliest

News 18  

The West Bengal BJP on Thursday demanded immediate intervention of the state Election Commission in conducting polls in more than 107 municipalities and corporations. Sensing that the state government is intentionally delaying the poll process, the Bengal BJP has written to the state election commission and demanded immediate intervention in the matter, reminding it about the Supreme Court’s order dated September 22 that sought the state EC’s opinion on how soon the pending election can be conducted. State BJP Vice President Jay Prakash Majumdar in his letter to the EC wrote, “There is a travesty in the West Bengal State Election Commission Act about the responsibility of fixing the date of elections. But unless the state government initiates the process, the SEC remains a lame duck.” “Therefore you are duty bound towards the people of West Bengal in Superintending direction and conducting elections to all those Municipalities and Corporations where the tenure of the respective Boards has expired.
