Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on May 18 wrote to the Election Commission to ensure "peaceful and impartial" elections in the state without the interference of the BJP.
The EC should ensure that May 19 polling is held without the "undue interference of the central government" and any "intervention by the ruling party at the Centre," the chief minister said.
"In the final phase of the election tomorrow, I would request your good office to kindly ensure that election is completed peacefully, impartially and without any undue interference of the Central government and any intervention by the ruling party at the centre," Banerjee wrote to Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora.
