Kolkata:
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said today that the COVID-19 crisis in the country was the result of the Centre not doing any work in the last six months as Union ministers and leaders were visiting Bengal daily to capture it.
Mamata Banerjee was speaking in the Bengal Assembly after Trinamool MLA Biman Bandyopadhyay was elected the Speaker for the third time.
Warning of stern action against communal incitements, the Chief Minister claimed the BJP was provoking violence after failing to win the elections. I can challenge that had the Election Commission not helped them directly, they (BJP) could not have won even 30 seats. In this election, rigging took place in some places under the watch of the poll panel, Ms Banerjee claimed, stressing the need to reform the Election Commission.

The first business of new the Assembly election of the new Speaker was held under a cloud of confrontation that was indicative of the mood and tone of Bengal’s politics likely to hold for the next five years.
On Saturday, Biman Banerjee was elected unopposed as the Speaker of the state Assembly for the third term, with the main Opposition BJP staying away from the proceedings to protest post-poll violence in the state. Out of 294 Assembly seats, elections were held in 292 with Trinamul winning 213 seats and the BJP 77.
Taking a dig at the BJP’s stance, chief minister Mamata Banerjee told the House that for most of the Opposition MLAs victory was courtesy the Election Commission of India. The people have boycotted them (Opposition MLAs). Without the EC’s help they could not have won 30 seats,” she said.
