Meanwhile, West Bengal State Election Commission has now moved the Supreme Court to challenge the Calcutta High Court's order regarding the deployment of central forces in panchayat elections.
Also, Governor CV Ananda Bose on Saturday called State Election Commissioner Rajiva Sinha for a discussion over Panchayat election-related issues, reported ANI.
On Friday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee slammed those who claim there is no peace in the state, asking them how the situation was during previous governments. Mamata asked Congress why, despite having government in several states, they need TMC support in parliament. She agreed to unite against the BJP, saying, "We are ready to support them in opposing the BJP. However, after joining hands with the CPI(M), they should not come to us for support in Bengal," she was quoted as saying by the news agency ANI.
