Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of interfering in the functioning of Election Commission, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said even if the poll panel transfers all the state officers, her Trinamool Congress’ victory cannot be prevented.
Her comments came after the EC ordered the transfer of five officers, including an additional director general of police, in West Bengal saying they will not be given any poll-related assignment.
Meanwhile, in an apparent reference to the Indian Secular Front, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday accused the BJP of backing a new political party to eat into minority votes during the upcoming assembly polls.
Without naming any party or any person, Banerjee also claimed at an election rally in South 24 Parganas district the founder of that outfit receives money from the BJP.
