The BJP has filed a complaint against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, stating that she had failed to disclose five police cases against her while filing nomination papers for the crucial September 30 Bhabanipur bypoll.
The Chief Election Agent for the BJP's Priyanka Tibrewal - who is taking the Trinamool chief head-on for the bypoll - wrote to the Bhabanipur Returning Officer to register his complaint.
Tibrewal's election agent cited reports from three publications, including one by India Today, to claim that cases had been filed in five police stations in BJP-ruled Assam.

The Trinamool Congress refuted the BJP poll complaint saying Mamata was only required to disclose details of cases if she is actually named in the charge sheet.
Mamata Banerjee must win the bypoll to remain Chief Minister, after she failed to win from Nandigram in the April-May election.
