Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is going to sit-in protest against the CEC’s decision on ban of her election campaign in West Bengal election for 24 hours. Mamatha Banerjee in her tweet said that I will sit on dharna tomorrow at Gandhi Murti, Kolkata from 12 noon

The CEC has banned her from campaigning in Bengal for 24 hours this evening over speeches that the Election Commission said violated the poll code. The Chief Minister was accused of breaking the law with her comments on Muslim votes and for allegedly urging voters to revolt against central security forces.

“To protest against the undemocratic and unconstitutional decision of the Election Commission of India” she tweeted. The ban till 8 pm on Tuesday – outgoing Election Commissioner Sunil Arora’s final order comes half-way through the Bengal election, with four more rounds of voting left in an intense campaign pitting Mamata Banerjee against a galaxy of BJP leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
