Countering the allegations levelled against the poll panel by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for working at the behest of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Deputy Election Commissioner Sudeep Jain wrote to the TMC supremo asking her to refrain from making assertions, as “repeated innuendos and averments” only belittle the institution of the ECI.
Clarifying further the poll panel’s position, Jain in the letter said, “Commission maintains the position that they would not like to keep on being put in the dock for alleged proximity to any political entity. However, if the Hon’ble CM persists in creating and attempting to perpetuate this myth for reasons best known to her, it is singularly, unfortunate and it is only for Hon’ble CM to adjudge as to why she is doing so.”
