In a tweet message, Adhikary said CEO West Bengal worked under the instructions of Trinamul Congress. “Congratulations to @CEOWestBengal Sourav Das for making Royal Nephew of Bengal's prediction come true. Important steps taken by you such as EVM without VVPAT, CCTV without connection and last but not the least; allowing an atmosphere of fear to prevail with@KolkataPolice's help,"
Opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari met state election commissioner Sourav Das after the election and lodged complaints regarding the widespread violence during the elections all through the day.
“ We want the election process to be free-and-fair. If there is any problem anywhere, I request the media to make the footage public and share it with the authorities. If the BJP does not have any agent in polling booths, it is their problem, not AITC’s."
“Polls like Assembly, Parliament and panchayat were not conducted separately. Why particularly are the KMC polls being held separately and not with other municipalities? People of KMC area will be given opportunities and other municipalities people will be deprived. Is the government so scared of being defeated in the municipal polls if they are conducted at the same time?"
MP Mala Roy is included in the list but MP Santanu Sen has been dropped.” Another MLA of Behala (East) Ratna Chatterjee, wife of former KMC Mayor Sovan Chatterjee, was also given nomination. It is learnt that MIC Sashi Panja’s daughter Pooja Panja will also contest in the poll. A journalist’s wife Mausumi Das will replace sitting councillor of Ward No. 93 Ratan Dey.
